adjustment
Pull lever 1 fig. 64 and position the
wheel in the desired place: push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the wheel.
Make sure the wheel is properly locked
in place.
Variable power steering
The variable power steering is an
electronic system that varies the
steering force according to the vehicle's
speed.The steering is thus less stiff when
parking (for greater comfort), but it gets
stiffer as driving at high speeds).
WARNING
26)Adjustments must be carried out only
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
off.
27)Never stop the engine when going
downhill, and in general when the vehicle is
moving (turning the engine off disengages
the power steering).
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving the
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that, in addition to invalidating the
warranty, could adversely affect
performance, cause serious safety
problems and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)With the engine stopped or in case of
system breakdown, you can still turn the
steering wheel. You need to apply more
effort.
