Steering

Everything about how iQ.Pilot steers: when lane keeping is available, how it feels, how it handles the brake pedal, and how automatic lane changes behave. Steering options tend to be safety relevant, so several can only be changed while the car is parked.

Keep steering help on even when cruise is off. Turn it off and steering only works with cruise on. Change it while parked.

Where to find it
