74KNOWING YOUR CAR
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may slightly exceed the pres et one.
The engagement of the device is s ignalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the in strument panel (together with
a message shown on the di splay ) (see “Ins trument panel
warning light s” paragraph).
S TORING THE C AR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍ turn the ring nut A - fig. 36 to ON and press the ac-
celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the desired
s peed;
❍ turn the ring nut to (+) for at lea st three s econds, then
relea se it. The vehicle speed is now memoris ed and you
can therefore releas e the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for in stance), you can accel-
erate simply by pre ssing the accelerator pedal; when you
releas e the pedal, the car will r
eturn to the speed memo-
ris ed previous ly .
RES TORING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memori sed speed
can be res tored as follows:
❍ accelerate graduall y until reaching a s peed approach-
ing the memori sed speed; ❍
engage the gear selected at the time of s peed memo-
ris ing (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍ press button C - fig. 36.
INC REAS ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by pressing the accelerator and then memori sing the
new speed reached;
or
❍ by temporaril y turning ring nut B - fig. 36 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will corres pond to
a slight incr
ease in s peed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will corre spond to a continu-
ous speed increas e.
REDUC ING THE MEMORIS ED SPEED
This can be done in two wa ys:
❍ by dis engaging the device and then memoris ing the
new speed;
or
❍ by keeping ring nut B - fig. 36 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memori sed auto-
matically .
Each movement of the ring nut will corre spond to a re-
duction in s peed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the ring
nut turned will corres pond to a continuous reduction in
s peed.

1DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
This system is incorporated with the E SP control unit and
s ugges ts s teering corrections whilst driving via the electric
power steering. The system applies a torque to the steer-
ing wheel which increa se s the s afety perception of the ve-
hicle, maintaining control of the steering and making the
intervention of the Advanced ES P system less intrus ive.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets , where provided)
The vehicle ma y be equipped with a system that allows a
choice between two s ty les of driving, normal and sports .
Pressing the S PORT button fig. 71 produces s porty dri-
ving featuring higher acceleration re spons e and more ef-
fort required on the s teering wheel to produce thi s effect.
When the function is active, “S” is lit up in the ins trument
panel. Press the button again to turn the function off and
re store the normal driving setting.

Under no circumstances should aftermarket
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty, cause serious safety problems and also
result in vehicle non-compliance with type-ap-
proval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels are not touching the
ground. If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must be
kept in the MAR position or the engine must be kept
running), remove the main electric power steering
system fuse.On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are rec-
iprocally incompatible.
IMPORTANT The function i s activated about 5 s econds
after the S PORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The s teering may become stiffer during
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of s teering.
This is normal and caus ed by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repair s are needed.
The power s teering system will s tart working normall y
again the next time the car i s u sed.

OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the
following condition s are met:
❍ always keep at lea st one hand on the steering wheel;
❍ vehicle speed between 65 km/h and 180 km/h;
❍ pres ence of lane demarcation line s not deteriorated and
vis ible on both sides ;
❍ suitable vis ibility conditions ;
❍ straight line or wide radiu s bends ;
❍ visual field condition s ufficient (safe distance from ve-
hicle in front).
OPERATION
The
system is not on when the vehicle i s s tarted. It i s on-
l y activated when the button
ein the das hboard is
pressed. The LED on the button s witches on to confirm
that the system has been activated and a dedicated me s-
s age appear s on the dis play. When activated, the system
s tarts recognis ing operating condition s (condition signalled
to the driver by the LED on the button and the
esym-
bol on the ins trument panel flas hing). Once the system has
recognis ed the operating condition s, it become s active.
Therefore: the
eicon in the ins trument panel s witches off
and the LED on the button remain s on cons tantly.
IMPORTANT If the operating condition s are no longer
pres ent then the system will deactivate. Thi s i s s ignalled
to the driver by the LED on the button fla shing and the
amber
eicon on the ins trument panel flas hing.

DEACTIVATING THE S YSTEM
Manual mode
The system can be deactivated b y pressing button A - fig.
73 in the das hboard.
Confirmation that the system has been switched off is giv-
en by the LED in the button and the message 1 - fig.74
in the dis play going out.
S
Y STEM AC TIVATION/DEAC TIVATION
With the system on, if the vehicle approaches one of the
lines defining the s ide of the lane, a torque is applied to
the steering wheel to let the driver know which direction
to steer in order to s tay within the lane. If the driver turn s
on the direction indicator in order to change lane s or for
overtaking, then the system will s witch off momentarily.
If the driver wi shes to change lanes without turning the
direction indicator on, then there will be a warning from
the steering wheel that the y are about to cross the line.
If the driver continues with the manoeuvre to change lane s,
the system will be temporaril y deactivated and then switch
back on again once it ha s r

ecognized the new driving lane.
The driver i s advis ed of this temporary deactivation b y the
flas hing of the LED on the button and the fla shing of the
eamber symbol on the di splay .
IMPORTANT The force applied to the steering wheel by
the system is s ufficient for the driver to notice it but they
can eas ily override it and maintain control of the vehicle.

SY STEM FAILURE
In the event of malfunction, the system advises the dri-
ver of the fault through message 3 - fig. 74 on the dis -
play and an acous tic signal.
IMPORTANT
The driving advi sor does not work due to a malfunction
of the following s afety systems : ABS, ESP, ASR, DS T
and TTC.
The driving advisor is not an automatic dri-
ving system and does not replace the driver
in controlling the trajectory of the car. The
driver is personally responsible for maintaining a
suitable level of attention to the traffic and road con-
ditions and for controlling the trajectory of the ve-
hicle safely.
Automatic mode
The system can be deactivated automaticall y (if the sys-
tem is required it will therefore need to be reactivated).
The driver is advised that the system has been turned off
automatically by three cons ecutive acous tic signals and
the message 1 – fig. 74 in the di splay in the following con-
ditions :
❍ the driver does not keep their hands on the steering
wheel (indication 2 - fig. 74 i s s hown on the ins tru-
ment panel and an acous tic signal sounds until the dri-
ver places his hands back on the wheel. Thi s is con-
s idered a dangerous condition and the system is au-
tomatically deactivated);
❍ intervention of the vehicle s afety systems (ABS, ESP,
A SR, DS T and TTC);
❍ the driver activates the sports driving s etting pr

essing
the SPORT button (for vers ions/markets where pro-
vided).
IMPORTANT The system cannot be activated if the dri-
ver has previous ly s elected the s ports driving mode. The
impossibility of using the system will be communicated to
the driver by three consecutive beeps and by the message
1 - fig. 74 in the di splay .
