TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows
the drive force to be distributed in
the best way over the front axle
when one wheel is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those
slipping more than the others),
thereby transferring the drive force
to those which have greater grip on
the ground.
This function can be activated
manually by pressing the A fig. 147
button on the control panel and
operates under 50 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded, it is
automatically deactivated and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 50 km/h.

Traction Plus

operation

The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 147 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following
functions being switched on:
❒ inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒ the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty,
the warning light on the
instrument panel switches on
constantly.

PARKING SENSORS

These are located in the rear
bumper fig. 148 and their function is
to inform the driver, through an
intermittent beeping noise, about
the presence of obstacles behind
the vehicle.

ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically
activated when reverse is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the bumper, the
frequency of the acoustic signal
increases.
