ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF
"Dynamic" MODE
Engagement
Move the lever A fig. 74 upwards (next to the letter "d") and hold in
this position for 0.5 seconds until the corresponding LED lights up
or the word "Dynamic" appears on the display (see fig. 77).
Upon release, lever A returns to the central position.
ESC and ASR: intervention thresholds that allow more enjoyable,
sportier driving whilst guaranteeing stability of the vehicle.
Steering wheel tuning: uses the sports mode function.
DST: braking standard control coordinated with ABS/ESC. Standard
control over lateral acceleration. Oversteering compensation
depending on the ESC/ASR intervention thresholds: a slight movement
on the steering wheel encourages the driver to carry out the most
appropriate manoeuvre.
Engine: prompter response + Overboost to maximise torque (for
versions/markets, where provided).
fig. 77
In the 1.4 Turbo MultiAir versions, selecting "Dynamic" operating
mode activates the turbocharger supercharging function (overboost):
depending on the accelerator pedal position and for a limited time, the
engine management control unit allows the system to generate
maximum pressure levels inside the turbocharger and the engine
torque can reach higher values than usual.
This function is particularly useful whenever maximum performance is
required for a short time (e.g. when overtaking).
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the "Dynamic" function is used
the steering may shudder, which is typical of a sports setting.
Disengagement
To deactivate "Dynamic" mode and return to "Natural", repeat the
same movement of the lever within the same times. In this case, the LED
corresponding to "Natural" mode will light up and the words "Natural
on" will appear on the reconfigurable multifunction display (see fig.
78).
