Volvo Dynamic Steering makes driving easier. Driving strain is reduced because steering requires less effort.
It compensates for sidewinds and removes vibrations from rough roads. Backing is simpler as well, thanks to
the automatic return to center. With Dynamic Steering, it's good to be in the driver's seat.
