- The ABS prevents the wheels from lock-
ing, but it does not increase the physical
limits of grip between the tyres and the
road: keep a safe distance from the vehi-

curves.

The driving mode switch A on the

the vehicle potential in a quick and easy
way.

There are fi ve modes available, which can
be selected according to the grip level
(from low to high) and consequently to
the level of driving assistance required
(from high to none).
In ICE mode, maximum stability -
which is essential for driving on
roadways where grip is very low
(e.g., snow or ice) - has priority
over performance, which is
signifi cantly reduced. Traction
stability control ( CST ) is at the
maximum level (Level 1). The
vehicle has an extremely “smooth”
behaviour. On vehicles equipped
with F1 gearbox, gearshifting is
automatic at high engine speeds,
and wheel locking is inhibited in
the event of downshifting on icy
roadways.

dry and wet roads. It is therefore
recommended on roads where grip
is poor (e.g., rain), slippery or
extremely uneven roads, but also to
enhance comfort during city
driving. In this confi guration,
unlike the previous one, the driver
may drive the vehicle using the
