DRIVE MODE
SELECTOR
(where provided)
This device allows drivers to select
three different driving modes ("car
response") according to their needs
and to the road and traffic conditions,
by manually adjusting the knob ring (A)
fig. 103 on the central tunnel.
- "Auto" mode
- "All weather” mode
- "Sport” mode.

F1B0721
Via the on board electronics, the device
acts on the car's dynamic control
system: engine, steering wheel, ESC
system, 4x4 system, transmission,
interfacing the instrument panel as well.
The rotating ring nut is monostable
type. In other words, it always returns
to the central position when released.
The acceptance by the system of the
requested driving mode is signalled by
the LED, located besides the symbol,
coming on, and by the corresponding
symbol appearing on the instrument
panel display.
When the engine is started, the system
usually maintains the driving mode
that was active before the engine was
stopped. For versions/markets where
provided, on start-up, the system is set
to the "Auto" mode.
"Auto" MODE
Recommended mode for normal
driving, aimed at comfort and safety in
normal grip and driving conditions. This
mode also reduces fuel consumption,
since it automatically disconnects the
transmission from the rear wheels if
the road and driving conditions allow
it, in addition to changing drive torque
distribution between the front and rear
axles.
Activation
Starting with the "All Weather" mode
active, turn the ring-nut anticlockwise
and hold it in this position for at least
half a second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out at
the same time. Once released, the ring-
nut returns to the central position.
Starting with the "Sport" mode
active, turn the ring-nut clockwise
and hold it in this position for at least
half a second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out
at the same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
“All Weather” MODE
This driving mode is intended for
safety in poor vehicle grip conditions
(wet/slippery road surface, rain, snow).
It is also recommended for driving on
unpaved roads or off-road.
Activation
Starting with the "Auto" mode active,
turn the ring-nut clockwise and
hold it in this position for at least
half a second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out
at the same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
Starting from the active "Sport" mode,
turn the ring nut anticlockwise, keeping
it in this position for at least half a
second, and in any case until the
relevant LED turns on, and the selected
mode is shown on the display. The
LED of the mode selected previously
will go out at the same time. Once
released, the ring-nut returns to the
central position.
