Adaptive Steering
(If Equipped)
WARNING
The adaptive steering system has
diagnostic checks that continuously
monitor the system. If a fault is
detected a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. This warning
message may clear if the fault is no longer
present. If an adaptive steering system
warning message is persistent over
multiple drive cycles have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
The adaptive steering system continually
changes the steering ratio with changes to
vehicle speed, optimizing the steering
response in all conditions.
The adaptive steering system is designed
with a locking device. While the lock is
engaged, your vehicle returns to a fixed
steering ratio. You may also notice a sound
when you start or turn off your vehicle as
the lock is disengaged or engaged. If your
vehicle loses electrical power or detects a
fault while you are driving, the lock engages
and you are able to continue steering.
During this time it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be straight when
the vehicle is driving straight ahead. During
this time you may notice that the steering
wheel angle required to steer the vehicle
may be different. Extreme operating
conditions may also cause the lock to
engage. This strategy prevents overheating
and permanent damage to the adaptive
steering system. Typical steering and
driving maneuvers allow the system to cool
and return to normal operation.

WARNINGS
You are responsible for controlling
your vehicle at all times. The system
does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious

(page 159). Failure to take care may result
in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
The system does not react to
cyclists, animals, pedestrians at
night, or vehicles that are driving in a
different direction. Failure to take care may
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
The system does not operate during
harsh acceleration or steering. Failure
to take care may lead to a crash or
personal injury.
The system may or may not operate
or may operate with reduced
function during cold or severe
weather conditions. Snow, ice, rain, spray
and fog can influence the system. Keep
the front camera and radar free of snow
and ice. Failure to take care may result in
the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
