Drive Mode Controls Preview Drive modes can be set using the
buttons on central console.
CAUTION!
“NORMAL” is the default drive mode,
optimized for the best balance
between performance, fuel
consumption and emissions in the
standard conditions use of the car.
Buttons on the central console have
following
functions:
•
(ESC Off): to exclude/reactivate
the ESC system.
•
(Start&Stop Off): to deactivate/
reactivate the Start&Stop system. • I.C.E: to activate/deactivate the drive
mode to ensure increased control on
slippery surfaces as well as higher
energy efficiency.
• SPORT: to activate/deactivate a
sportier drive mode. In this mode,
the vehicle has a faster throttle
response and ESC sport calibration
(not recommended on wet/slippery
surfaces). Activating this drive mode,
will also change the EPS setting.
•
(Suspension): to switch between
the two suspensions setting modes:
soft (LED light off) and hard (“S”,
LED light on). Activating this drive
mode, will also change the EPS
setting.
By selecting one of these drive modes,
the yellow or white LED on the button
illuminates and, for some of these, the
vehicle configuration obtained is
graphically displayed on instrument
cluster. The same screen is also
obtained when selecting the “Drive
mode” menu using the buttons on
steering wheel.
When changing drive mode between
I.C.E., NORMAL, SPORT and
(Suspension), engine temperature
and fuel level indicators inner edge
will change color if “Outline Coloring”
of submenu “Screen Setup” is set to
“On” (see example in the figure). Refer to chapter “Instrument Cluster”
in section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
Setting the Drive Mode Drive modes can be set using the
