or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged. ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
 Press switch 1 , the indica-
tor light and the SPORT in-
dicator light will come on.
In this position, the suspen-
sion is maintained in the

SPORT position, the shock absorption
and the steering assistance become
i rmer.
Selecting the SPORT position

seconds every time the ignition is
switched on.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a

shock absorption, ensuring a comfort-
able ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving, tight
bends, avoidance action, etc.), it au-
tomatically selects i rmer shock ab-
sorption, guaranteeing optimum road
holding.
When the ignition is switched on, the
electronic suspension is always active
in automatic operation mode.
