Active suspension with piloted damp-ing and fl exibility automatically and instantaneously adjusts the damp-ers to your driving style, as well as to the condition of the road surface, to achieve the maximum comfort for you and your passengers, as well as improved roadholding.
Normal mode: This functioning mode fi lters the unevenness of the road surface with the suppleness of the damping to produce a superlative ride.
Sport mode: a press on button A gives you a suspension that is more adapted to a sporty style of driving. This functioning mode makes the damp-ing fi rmer, for enhanced control of the vehicle body movements.
This symbol is displayed on your instrument panel.
SIGNALLINGIn the standard situation, button A is not lit up by day, it only illuminates at night.
In sport mode, after you press button A, the latter lights up in orange, day or night.
The mode selected is conserved until the ignition is switched off.
