gardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
providing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are avail-
able and can be selected manually by
the driver in accordance with his re-
quirements.
