The steering resistance and firmness change with the speed of the car. At low speeds, steering resistance is low for precision  
manoeuvring. At high speeds, the steering adapts to be firmer.  
Steering feel  
You can adjust the steering feel via the settings in the centre display. Steering feel affects the firmness of the steering wheel's  
turning.  
Steering-related faults  
If you notice that your steering wheel is abnormally firm, or if steering-related features[1] are not available or working properly,  
this can be due to a fault related to the steering system.  
If your car detects a steering-related fault, it will notify you with a symbol and a message in one or more of the displays. The  
message depends on the nature and severity of the detected fault. Be sure to read and follow any instructions in the message.  
The symbol for steering-related faults can be shown in the driver display if your car detects a fault with the steering system.
