Information on steering
The steering should be locked every time you leave the vehicle to make it more difficult for the vehicle to be stolen.
The steering
The power steering provided by the electromechanical steering system automatically adjusts to the vehicle speed,
steering wheel torque and steering wheel angle. The electromechanical steering only functions when the engine is
running. If the start/stop system is activated and the engine is switched off, the steering also works.
You will need considerably more strength than normal to steer the vehicle if the power steering is reduced or has
failed completely.
Mechanical steering column lock
The steering column is locked mechanically in vehicles with an ignition lock:
—Stop the vehicle and engage the parking lockP as required.
—Remove the vehicle key.
—Turn the steering wheel slightly until the steering lock clicks into place.
To unlock the steering column:
—Turn the steering wheel slightly to relieve the steering lock mechanism.
—Insert the vehicle key into the ignition lock.
—Hold the steering wheel in this position and turn the ignition on.
