ALFA ACTIVE SUSPENSION
(AAS)
(where provided)
The vehicle's electronic suspensions
management system is the result of a
sophisticated elaboration of the various
board sensors, aimed at optimizing the
vehicle's performance.
The system continuously monitors the
damping of the suspensions through the
actuator installed on each shock
absorber. This way, the calibration of the
shock absorbers can be adjusted to the
conditions of the road surface and to the
dynamic conditions of the vehicle,
improving its comfort and road holding.
The driver can choose, even while driving,
(only in "d" or "Race" mode), between two
types of suspension calibration: a more
sporty or a more comfortable one.
By pressing the button, the system
prepares to work with a shock absorber
calibration which favours driving
comfort.

START & STOP EVO
The Stop/Start Evo automatically stops
the engine each time the vehicle is
stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
IMPORTANT When the Start & Stop Evo

stops the engine, the power steering is
also disabled.

switching off is disabled to make the "Hill
Start Assist" function available (works
only with running engine).
NOTE The engine can only be
automatically stopped after having run at
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h). After an
