Active Alternator To improve overall efficiency by
reducing the auxiliary loads on the
engine, the vehicle is equipped with a
smart alternator that is mainly active
in the latter energy balance phases
(for example, during braking, coasting
and overloading).
The alternator becomes active when
the battery charge is insufficient and
when the vehicle exits from the
braking and overload situations.
Active Alternator Feature (if feature is
available)
In the I.C.E. screen, the user can
display in the form of dynamic bars
some informative parameters on the
state of battery charge ("CHARGE"),
efficiency of drive style ("EFFICIENCY")
and the matured economy (
bonus
range) expressed in miles (mi) or
kilometres (km). The bonus range (about 37 mi/60 km
for each full of fuel) is automatically
reset every time the vehicle is
refueled.
Parking Brake The vehicle is equipped with an
electric automatic parking brake, also
called EPB (Electric Parking Brake).
The EPB braking action on model with
“Base” braking system (equipped with
rear floating calliper) is ensured by a
power actuator directly working on
the brake pad inside each calliper of
the rear brake system.
All other modes with “Dual Cast”
braking system are equipped with a
dedicated calliper which acts on each
rear brake disc.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and
disengaged with engine running,
driver seatbelt latched and driver door
closed, while pressing the brake pedal
and operating the shift lever.
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
the gearshift in P (Park) to avoid
damage to the vehicle. EPB can be
disengaged before turning off the
vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light
lights up on
the tachometer display and the
related message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for 5 seconds (see
“Instrument Cluster” in sectionDriving
