Power-assisted steering

Never drive with an inadequately charged 12V battery.

Special case

Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a battery fault (disconnected, discharged battery, etc.), the power-assisted steering wheel angle must be reset. To do this:

  • the vehicle stationary and on flat ground;
  • with the driver alone in the vehicle, start the engine: the 2_ALL_359_1_pictogramme.png warning light and/or, depending on the vehicle, the "Turn steer.wheel max right-left" message are/is displayed on the instrument panel;
  • turn the steering wheel fully to the left and then to the right, applying force when it arrives at the stop. Switch off the engine and wait for around a minute. when the engine next starts, the indicator light and/or, depending on vehicle, the message will switch off.
tip

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary.

Special feature of the Stop and Start

With the engine on standby, power-assisted steering is no longer operational. It returns to its original state when the engine is restarted or as soon as the speed is above 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (hill, slope, etc.).

warning

Never switch off the ignition when travelling downhill, and avoid doing so in normal driving (power steering and brake servo will not function).

tip

With the engine switched off, or if there is a system fault, it is still possible to turn the steering wheel. The force required will be greater.
