Engine:
standard response
ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF
“Dynamic” MODE
Engagement
Move the lever A fig. 72 upwards (next to the letter “d”) and hold in
this position for 0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED lights up
or the word “Dynamic” appears on the display (see fig. 75).
Upon release, lever A returns to the central position.
VDC and ASR:
intervention thresholds for more enjoyable, sportier driving,
guaranteeing stability in case control of the car is lost. Improves
traction whilst accelerating on bends.
Steering wheel tuning:
sports mode function.
DST:
standard braking control coordinated with ABS/VDC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration. Compensates oversteering
depending on the VDC/ASR intervention thresholds: a slight
movement on the steering wheel encourages the driver to carry
out the most appropriate manoeuvre.
Engine:
prompter re Overboost to maximise torque (for
versions/markets, where provided).
In the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, selecting “Dynamic” operating
mode activates the turbocharger supercharging function (overboost):
depending on the accelerator pedal position and for a limited time, the
engine management control unit allows the system to generate
maximum pressure levels inside the turbocharger and the engine
torque can reach higher values than usual.
