Tip
Steering and driver support interactions
Several of your vehicle's driver support features can affect steering. Read the manual sections about these features for a more complete understanding of how they may interact with and affect your steering experience.
Speed-dependent steering response
Steering resistance and firmness change with the speed of the vehicle. At low speeds, steering resistance is low for precision maneuvering. At high speeds, the steering adapts to be firmer.
Steering feel
You can adjust the steering feel via the settings in the center display. Steering feel affects the firmness of the steering wheel's turning.
Steering-related faults
If you notice that your steering wheel is abnormally stiff or if steering-related features1 are not available or working properly, it may be due to a fault related to the steering system.
If your vehicle notices a steering-related fault, it will notify you with a message in one or both of the displays. Be sure to read and follow the instructions in the message.
