IMPORTANT When the SPORT button is pressed,
the function is activated about 5 seconds later.
IMPORTANT During acceleration, when the SPORT
function is used the steering may shudder which is
typical of a sports setting.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a
lot of steering, the steering may become harder;
this is normal and is due to the intervention of the
system to protect the electric steering motor from
overheating; so, no intervention is required. When
the car is used again later on, the power steering will
work normally.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on fuel
consumption and emissions: accelerate gradually to
contain consumption.
When the SPORT function is used the consumption
figures will be slightly higher than those stated.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) be carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety.This also causes the
warranty to become null and void and results in
vehicle non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do not touch
the ground. If this is not possible (for example
if the key needs to be turned to MAR-ON or
the engine must be running), remove the main
fuse that protects the electric power steering.
