Manual Steering Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The EPAS  enters a manual steering mode (no electrical steering assistance is provided) when a concern that is considered to be a critical safety concern is detected or when a concern that caused the EPAS  to enter reduced steering assist mode has been present for a predetermined number of key cycles. In manual steering mode, the vehicle has mechanical steering operation only, which gives steering operation a heavy feel.
