Electric Power Steering
Steering Mode Switching
The electric power steering system provides 3 different
steering modes:
If the electric power steering fails or cannot
operate the steering will appear very heavy,
this will affect driving safety.
1
Normal: provides moderate power assistance.
2
Urban: provides a high level of assistance, with a light
feel.
The electric power steering system only works when the
vehicle is started. The system operates via a motor with
assistance levels automatically adjusted based on vehicle
speed, steering wheel torque and steering wheel angle.
3
Dynamic: provides low level power assistance, with a
heavier feel.
The steering mode is selectable for vehicle speeds up to 60
mph (100 km/h) through the touch screen interface.
IMPORTANT
Holding the steering wheel on full lock for long periods
will result in a reduction in power assistance causing a
heavier feel to the steering for a short period of time.
Note: Steering mode selection is only available when
the steering wheel is not being turned. Any changes
made in this state will not take effect until the steering
wheel is straight ahead.
