STARTING AND DRIVING

“NORMAL” MODE
It is a driving mode aimed at comfort
and safety in normal grip and driving
conditions.
“Normal” is the default mode: the
following screen on the display when
this mode is active fig. 96.
“TRACTION +” MODE
This system is designed to assist
setting off on slippery surfaces (e.g.
snow, ice, mud, etc.) by distributing the
drive force in optimal manner on the
front axle.By braking the wheels with poor grip (or
those slipping more than the others),
the system transfers the drive force to
the wheels which have more grip on the
ground.
Activating the “Traction +” system will
generate a front axle differential lock
effect to optimise traction on uneven
surfaces by means of the braking
system.
Activation
Turn the ring rightwards (position B fig.
95) and hold in this position for half a
second and in all cases until the
corresponding LED lights up and the
“Traction +” mode activation indicator
appears on the display fig. 97.
Once released, the ring-nut returns to
the central position.
This system operations at speed under
30 km/h: over this speed it is
automatically deactivated and is
reactivated as soon as the speed drops
under 30 km/h. In this case, the LED
on the ring remains on.Turning off
To deactivate “Traction +” mode and go
back to “Normal” mode, turn the ring
leftwards and hold this position for half
a second. In this case, the LED related
to “Normal” mode will light up and
the indication that “Traction +” mode
has been deactivated will appear on the
display.

“GRAVITY CONTROL” FUNCTION
This driving function aims at maintaining
a constant speed when driving
downhill on a steel gradient. Noise and
vibrations from the wheel sides (brakes)
are normal when the function is active.IMPORTANT The function can only be
selected with “Traction +” mode active,
engine running, handbrake released
and driver side door correctly closed.

indicator appears on the display fig. 98.
Once released, the ring-nut returns to
the central position. The “Gravity
Control” is ready to work when the
“Gravity Control” function is selected.
Turning off
To deactivate “Gravity Control” mode,
turn the ring leftwards and hold this
position for half a second.In this case, the LED related to
“Traction +” mode will light up and the
