ters related to vehicle stability, the graphs
illustrate the trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information), consid

ering gravity acceleration as a reference unit.
The screen displays the lateral and longitu

dinal acceleration peaks.
RACE Mode Performance Display
NOTE:
If the brake system overheats, this is commu
-
nicated by the Information and Entertainment
system. In this case, allow the system to cool
for a few minutes by driving the vehicle
normally without operating the brakes.
Driving Mode Deactivation
To deactivate any driving mode, simply move
the selector to any other mode.
NOTE:
The next time that the engine is started, the
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" and
"Natural" mode selected previously is
retained. The system will reactivate in
"Advanced Efficiency", "Dynamic" or
"Natural" mode, depending on which mode
was selected before the engine was
stopped.
When the engine is next started, the "RACE"
mode selected previously is not retained.
The system will reactivate in "Dynamic"
mode.
ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS) — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle's electronic suspension manage
-
ment system is aimed at optimizing the
vehicle's performance.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspensions through the actu
-
ator installed on each shock absorber. This
way, the calibration of the shock absorbers
can be adjusted to the conditions of the road
surface and to the dynamic conditions of the
vehicle, improving its comfort and road
holding.
The driver can choose, even while driving,
(only in "Dynamic” mode), between two types
of suspension calibration: a more sporty or a
more comfortable one.
By pushing the button, the system changes
the shock absorber calibration.
Alfa Active Suspension Button
In case of a system failure, the symbol and
a dedicated message will be shown on the
instrument panel display.
STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start system automatically shuts off
the engine during a vehicle stop if the required
conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal will automatically restart
the engine.
The function was developed to increase
vehicle efficiency by reducing fuel consump
-
tion, gas emissions, and sound pollution.
NOTE:
When the Stop/Start system stops the engine,
the power steering is also disabled.
