GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
REACTIVE SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
This system interacts with the Sport function (see chap-
ter “1” in “Sport function”).
The SPORT button, fig. 70, can be used to select two dri-
ving settings depending on the type of route and the road
surface:
– with the button released: “normal” mode
– with the button pressed: SPORT mode.
In the “normal” operating mode the active shock absorbers
regulate the vehicle damping, adapting it to the type of
road and the driving stressed considerably improving dri-
ving comfort especially on unmade roads.
When the SPORT function is activatee, the letter “S” is lit
up in the instrument panel. This function produces a sports
driving setting featuring greater responsiveness during ac-
celeration and a sports driving feeling with the steering,
as well as the regulation and distribution of the damping
at the shock absorbers guaranteeing greater vehicle pre-
cision and reaction, whilst maintaining a good level of
comfort. The driver will notice that the vehicle is more
precise when entering bends and quicker in changing di-
rection.
