Calibration selection
The driver can select, in relation to
road surface conditions, vehicle speed,
driving style and comfort, one of the
two calibration levels provided by the
system: normal or sports-style.
Normal calibration, active when
SPORT mode is disabled, favors
comfort and higher driving stability
with low and average grip conditions.
Sports-style calibration, active when
SPORT mode is enabled, favors wheel
drive and is designed to permit more
sporty driving with optimal road
holding.
Whenever the engine is started,
the system automatically activates
NORMAL mode, even if SPORT mode
was selected before the engine was
last turned off.
The
SPORT mode calibration can
be selected only with the ignition
key in
MAR (ON) position and it is
enabled by pressing button A , even
while driving: when SPORT mode is
activated, the word “SPORT” on the
multi-function display and the LED on
the button illuminate.
WARNING: SPORT mode should not
be activated if the road surface is
rough or slippery.
Press button A : to reset the normal
calibration, also while driving. When
the normal calibration is activated,
the “SPORT” warning light on the
multi-function display and the button
LED go off.
The electronic suspension control
system works in combination with
the
ESC system (Electronic Stability
Control): when the suspension is set
to normal, stability is increased under
medium and low grip conditions,
while when
SPORT mode is enabled,
the ESC system optimizes racing-style
driving.
WARNING: In low- and medium-grip
conditions (e.g., rain, snow, ice, sand,
etc.) it is advisable not to use
SPORT
mode, even with the ESC enabled.
