Hi eddiemonster

There should be 3 options available under the steering menu in the focus:

Normal
Sport
Comfort

The steering is an electrically controlled hydraulic system. Sport mode makes the steering firmer, while comfort makes it lighter.

Hope this helps!

Lock it in sport and leave it there.

I did when I bought my XR 14 months ago and I've more or less forgoten that you can even change it.
