Buick Regal: Speed Variable Assist Steering
Some vehicles have a steering system that varies the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle in relation to the speed of the vehicle.
The amount of steering effort required is less at slower speeds to make the vehicle more maneuverable and easier to park.
At faster speeds, the steering effort increases to provide a sport-like feel to the steering. This provides maximum control and stability.
If the vehicle seems harder to steer than normal when parking or driving slowly, there may be a problem with the system. You will still have power steering, but steering will be stiffer than normal at slow speeds. See your dealer for service.
