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, favours
comfort and higher driving stability
with low and average grip conditions.
Sports-style calibration, active when
SPORT mode is enabled, favours
wheel drive and permits a racing-style
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 racing-style calibration can be
selected only with the ignition key
in
MAR 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 optimises 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.
Malfunction indicators
If one or more electric components
in the system prove to be
malfunctioning while driving, the
ECU illuminates the relative warning
light accompanied by the message
“Check suspensions” on the display. In
addition, the ECU calibrates the shock
absorbers to a preset value, thus
ensuring a safe vehicle set up.
Should the malfunction involve
one shock absorber only, this will
no longer be controlled by the ECU
and will therefore remain set as it
was when the fault occurred. It is
therefore possible for one of the four
shock absorbers to work with a fi xed
calibration, different from that of the
other ones.
In any case, safe and secure vehicle
driving is always ensured at low
speeds.
