VDC Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)This function integrates Dual Pinion active steering into the operation of
ESC. For particular manoeuvres, the ESC system controls the steering
to actuate a steering torque and assist the driver in the best possible
way.
The system operates the brakes and steering in a coordinated manner
to increase the suspension and safety level of the car as a whole.
The steering provides additional torque on the steering wheel.RAB SYSTEM (Ready Alert Brakes)
(only with “Dynamic” mode
engaged)It is a function that achieves a pre-positioning of the brake pads (front
and rear) following a rapid release of the accelerator pedal to reduce
braking times, shortening stopping distances.
“Alfa DNA” SYSTEM
(Car dynamic control system)This device allows, using lever A fig. 82 (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 device also acts on the dynamic car control systems (engine,
steering, VDC system, instrument panel).
When lever A fig. 82 is moved to “d” position, the activation of
“Dynamic” mode is confirmed by a temporary variation in the
brightness (flashing) of the instrument panel.
