drive and provides optimum traction
regardless of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle’s normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are
available and can be selected manually
by the driver in accordance with his
requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .

ommended when the level of grip
permits.

tarmacked road on which the driver
considers that there is no risk of loss of
grip (dry road).

drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or diffi cult (sand, mud, slopes, etc.).
