Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, progressive steering can adjust the force of the steering
movement in a driving situation. Progressive steering only functions when the engine is running.
In
urban driving
, smaller steering movements are required when parking, manoeuvring, or turning
sharply.
When driving on
country roads
or on the
motorway
, the progressive steering provides a more
sporty, direct steering response, and a dynamic feel.
