Alfa Active Suspension (Aas) - Alfa Romeo Giulia Owner's Handbook Manual

Turning off
To deactivate the Advanced Efficiency
mode, move the selector to "n", Normal
mode.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The selector will always be positioned
in Normal "n" mode when the engine is
started.
When the engine is next started, the
"Race" mode selected previously is not
retained. The system will reactivate in
"Dynamic" mode.
"RACE" MODE
(where provided)
Activation
It is activated by rotating the selector to
position "Race", the displays light up in
yellow fig. 165.
165
Engine and gearbox/transmission:
adoption of sports mapping.
160
WARNING this mode should be activated
on race tracks.
WARNING In "Race" mode, the sensitivity
of the accelerator pedal increases
considerably. Consequently, driving is
less fluid and comfortable.
The "Performance" screen displays
parameters related to car stability,
the graphs illustrate the trend of the
longitudinal/lateral accelerations (G-
meter information), considering gravity
acceleration as a reference unit.
The screen displays the lateral and
longitudinal acceleration peaks, fig. 166.

WARNING With braking system
overheated, the Connect system
communicates the condition. In this
case, allow the system to cool for a few
05036S0177EM
minutes by driving the car normally
without operating the brakes.
Turning off
To deactivate the Race mode, take the
selector to position "Race" again and the
system will be set to "d" mode.
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
05036S0014EM
sporty or a more comfortable one.
By pressing the button fig. 167, the
system prepares to work with a shock
absorber calibration which favours
driving comfort.
In the case of a system failure, the
following symbol appears on the
instrument panel display .
