Question to those with Active Steering

jiggz · 08-05-2014, 05:51 PM

How can you tell if a vehicle has this option other than running the VIN through a decoder?

Is there a button to turn it on/off, or is it built into the steering column/system?

No button. I have it and I am not aware of a button to turn it off. And I actually read the manual.

Yup no button. It automatically activates at lower speed and deactivates upon higher speeds. It is seemless so you don't notice.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'd have to drive one with and one without to feel the difference.
