Pressing the SPORT button also activates the
turbocharger supercharging function (overboost).
Via this function the engine management control
unit allows - in relation to the position of the
accelerator pedal and for a limited time - maximum
pressure levels to be reached inside the
turbocharger, with a consequent increase in engine
torque with respect to that which is normally
possible.
This function is particularly useful whenever
maximum performance is required for a short time
(e.g. when overtaking).
The letter S is lit up in the instrument panel display
when the function is switched on. Press the button
again to switch the function off and restore the
normal driving setting.
IMPORTANT When the SPORT button is pressed,
the function is activated about 5 seconds later.IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the
SPORT function is used the steering may shudder
which is typical of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring
a lot of steering, the steering may become harder;
this is normal and is due to the intervention of
the system to protect the electric steering motor
from overheating; so, no intervention is required.
When the car is used again later on, the power
steering will work normally.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on
fuel consumption and emissions: accelerate
gradually to contain consumption.
When the SPORT function is used the consumption
figures will be slightly higher than those stated.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) be carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety.This also causes the
warranty to become null and void and results
in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.
