ately reverses the window travel.

cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by

tem restore procedure, acting as follows:

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function) (where provided)
To connect/disconnect the CITY func-
tion, press button A-fig. 103set on the
dashboard next to the steering wheel.
Activation of this function is indicated by
the word CITY on the instrument panel
display (on certain versions it is also indi-
cated by the turning on of the CITY warn-
ing light).
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
g, together with the
message on the display (on certain ver-
sions a symbol is displayed) (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.SPORT FUNCTION
(where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a sys-
tem that allows a choice between two dri-
ving modes: normal and sports.
Press the SPORT button fig. 104to set
the system for a sporty drive with
prompter acceleration response and stiffer
steering wheel movements for a sportier
feel.
Pressing SPORT button enables the over-
boost function.
This function enables the engine control
unit to reach maximum pressure levels in-
side the turbocharger, depending on the
position of the accelerator pedal and for
a limited time. This enables to achieve an
increased engine torque.
This function is quite useful if maximum
performance is required for a short time
(e.g. overcoming other vehicles).
