.
WARNING
If the power steering does not work, you
will need much more strength to turn the
wheel. This has a considerable effect on
vehicle safety.
●
The power steering only works when the
engine is running.
●
Never allow the vehicle to move when the
engine is switched off.
●
Never remove the key from the ignition
while the vehicle is moving. The steering
lock could be engaged and vehicle steer-
ing would not work.
WARNING
Power-assisted steering, together with the
ESC, helps the driver to control vehicle
steering in critical situations. However, the
driver is ultimately responsible for steering
the vehicle at all times. Power-assisted
steering does not remove this responsibili-
ty.
Note
The ignition of the vehicle being towed
must be switched on to prevent the steering
wheel from locking and also to allow the
use of the turn signals, horn, windscreen
wipers and washers.
