control system)
This device allows, using lever 1
fig. 33 (on the central tunnel), three car
response modes to be selected according
to driving style and road conditions:
d=Dynamic(sports driving mode);
n=Natural(mode for driving in normal
conditions);
a=All Weather(mode for driving in
poor grip conditions, such as rain and
snow).
The lever 1 is of the monostable type. In
other words, it always remains in a
central position.
The selected driving mode is indicated by
the corresponding LED switching on in
the panel and by an indication on the
reconfigurable multifunction display.When “Natural” mode is selected, no
messages or symbols are shown on the
