Electro-mechanical power steering assists the driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted electronically, depending on the speed.

Do not drive vehicle: steering defectiveIf the warning lamp lights up permanently and the message appears, there may be a power steering failure.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance.

Drive slowly to a qualified workshop and have the fault rectified.
Dynamic steering: initialisingIf the indicator lamp flashes and the message appears, the dynamic steering* is being initialised. The steering wheel will move slightly after the engine is started.
