Power-assisted steering
Never drive with an inadequately
charged battery.
v ariable power-assisted steering
(depending on vehicle)
It is equipped with a system which
adapts the level of assistance to the ve-
hicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
operating faults
The steering can become stiff when
driving. This is due to the power assist-
ance overheating. In this case, it must
be allowed to cool down.
During low speed manoeuvres with a
high engine speed, the steering can
become stiff. Power assistance returns
when driving.
Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
v ehicles with sequential gear -
box: refer to the information on the
“Quickshift gearbox” in Section 2.
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de -
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.
