SPORT FUNCTION
The vehicle is equipped with a system
that allows the choice between two dri-
ving styles: normal and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig 1 pro-
duces a sports driving setting featuring
greater responsiveness during accelera-
tion.
This function produces:
– a more lively response by the engine;
– increased sensitivity of the accelera-
tor pedal to the supply of power.
This function is especially useful if max-
imum performance is required, for ex-
ample when overtaking.
The LED in the SPORT button lights up
when the function is on. Press the but-
ton again to turn the function off and re-
store the normal driving setting.
IMPORTANT during acceleration,
when the SPORT function is in use, it
is possible to feel steering judder, which
is typical of this sporty setting.
ACCELERATION
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: to contain fuel consumption ac-
celeration should be gradual.
Using the SPORT function, fuel con-
sumption will be slightly higher.
