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.

ESC e ASR:intervention thresholds aimed at comfort in normal
conditions of use for normal driving conditions.
Steering wheel tuning:functions aimed at comfort in normal
conditions of use.DST:braking standard control coordinated with ABS/ESC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration. Oversteer compensation: a slight
pulse on the steering wheel encourages the driver to carry out the most
appropriate manoeuvre.
Engine:standard response.
ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF
“Dynamic” MODEEngagement
Move the lever A fig. 82 upwards (next to the letter “d”) and hold in
this position for 0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED lights up
or the word “Dynamic” appears on the display (see fig. 85).
Upon release, lever A returns to the central position.
ESC and ASR:intervention thresholds that allow more enjoyable,
sportier driving whilst guaranteeing stability in the event of loss of
control of the car. Improves traction whilst accelerating on bends.
Steering wheel tuning:uses the sports mode function.
