(*) I.C.E. (Increased Control and
Efficiency) operates on engine supply
in order to reduce fuel consumption,
exhausts, noisiness (efficiency) by
dampening vehicle reactions
(control). The current mode is also
useful for low-grip surfaces.
The tables below summarize the
adjustment of transmission and engine
parameters according to set drive mode/s.
(ESC OFF) is the only mode
that does not depend on the
activation or deactivation of the other
modes. The tables show the two
configurations with:
•
(ESC OFF) button NOT pressed;
•
(ESC OFF) button pressed.
WARNING!
On Trofeo version, when CORSA drive
mode is activated, the
(ESC OFF)
indicator light on the instrument
cluster is on because the intervention
of the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system is lower than the other
modes, but still present to allow a
more sporty drive.
You can always press (ESC OFF) button
to fully deactivate ESC system. Due to
high power output of the engine can
be potentially dangerous to drive the
car on wet or slippery roads with ESC
off and CORSA drive mode set.Driving
