SAFETY SYSTEMS
Depending on the versions, there are 3
configurations for the active safety
systems on the vehicle:
❒
systems enabled;
❒
systems partially disabled;
❒
systems disabled.
Systems enabled
All active safety systems are enabled.
This is the normal operating mode
when driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
This mode should be used in most
driving conditions. The system will be in
"Systems enabled" mode every time
the engine is started.
IMPORTANT You are advised to select
"Systems partially disabled" or
"Systems disabled" modes only for
specific driving requirements.
Systems partially disabled
By pressing the button on the central
tunnel fig. 54 for fewer than 5 seconds
when driving, the TSC system can
be disabled and the intervention of the
TC system can be limited to braking
action on the individual drive wheels.
The other systems remain enabled.
Activation of this mode is indicated by
the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on (on some versions,
together with a message on the
display).
To restore "All systems enabled"
operating mode, press the button on
the central tunnel again.
"Systems completely enabled" mode
will automatically reactivate every time
the engine is started.
IMPORTANT When travelling on snowy
roads with snow chains, it may be
helpful to activate "Systems partially
disabled" mode: in these conditions,
slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain
better traction.
