About your Vehicle
Vehicle status screen page
The “Vehicle status” screen page, which is directly called up by
pressing the
VDA
button or by pressing the
LEFT
button when the
MAIN screen page is displayed, is intended to help the user bring
the vehicle to optimum performance when driving on high grip
surfaces.
This is made possible by an algorithm that determines the thermal
state of the main vehicle subsystems (tyres, brakes and engine) in
relation to the dynamics of various parameters (lateral acceleration,
speed, etc.). The status of the vehicle is displayed concisely using
three levels which are blue, green and red:
WARMUP
Warm-up stage for components and self-acquisition of control
systems; during this stage, the vehicle should be driven so that it is
taken to optimum conditions of use.
GO
The vehicle has completed the warm-up stage: all its subsystems
have reached optimum conditions of use for performance driving.

One or more systems have reached an overheating condition
that may affect vehicle dynamics. Slowing down is therefore
recommended to restore these systems to optimum conditions of
use.
