The power steering works only when the engine is running. If the power steering is switched off or faulty, the steering continues to work.
Note: To prevent damage to the power steering, turning the steering wheel all the way to the stop with the engine running should not continue for more than 15 seconds.
Some models have an active steering function that adjusts the power assistance depending on the vehicle speed. When the vehicle is stationary, the assistance is at its maximum, and decreases as the speed increases.
The all-wheel drive "Quattro" in fully automatic mode distributes torque between all wheels of the car depending on the driving dynamics and road conditions. This increases traction and improves driving dynamics. However, a car with all-wheel drive should not be considered an off-road vehicle due to its low ground clearance. Avoid driving on dirt roads.
