TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip
conditions on non-homogeneous
road surfaces (snow/asphalt,
ice/asphalt, mud/asphalt, etc.),
which allows the drive force to be
distributed adequately on the
engine axle when one of the two
drive wheels slips.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheel with poor grip (or slipping
more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to that
which has greater grip on the
ground.
This function can be activated
manually by pressing button A on
the dashboard fig. 127 and
operates under 50 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded, it is
automatically deactivated (the LED
on the button is still on) and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 30 km/h.

Traction Plus
operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction
Plus system, press button A fig.
127: the LED on the button
switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following
functions being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty,
the
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on
constantly.
When travelling on snowy roads
with snow chains, it may be helpful
to turn the Traction Plus on and
thus inhibiting the ASR function: in
fact, in these conditions, slipping
of the drive wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better
traction.
WARNING
67) The Traction Plus system acts
effectively only on road surfaces
that are not homogeneous and/or
differentiated between the two
drive wheels.
68) Until the setting off manoeuvre is
terminated, fully depress the
accelerator pedal in order to
transfer all the drive torque to the
wheel with the best grip.
