to braking action on the individual drive
wheels. The other systems remain
enabled.
Activation of this mode is highlighted by
the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on (on some versions,
together with a message on the
display).
IMPORTANT If a speed of
approximately 65 km/h is exceeded,
the systems will behave as described
for "Systems partially disabled" mode.
To restore "Systems enabled" operating
mode, press the button on the central
tunnel again.
"Systems enabled" mode will
automatically reactivate every time the
engine is started.
Versions with
Selec-Terrain™
device
On versions with Selec-Terrain™
device, the activation of certain driving
modes partially or totally deactivates
certain active safety systems in order to
optimise performance in the specific
mode.
When active safety systems are partially
or totally deactivated, the
warning
light will turn on in the instrument panel.
In "SAND" and "MUD" modes, the
active safety systems are partially
disabled and fine-tuned to ensure
maximum performance in the specific
operating modes. It is in any case
possible to reactivate them completely
at any time by pressing the
the central tunnel should you wish to
favour safety over "off-road"
performance.
IMPORTANT In 4WD LOW modes, the
active safety systems are completely
disabled in order to ensure maximum
off-road driving performance and it will
not be possible to reactivate them.

WARNING
32) When the ABS intervenes and you feel
the brake pedal pulsating, do not reduce
the pressure, but hold it down firmly and
confidently; in doing so you will brake in the
shortest distance possible, depending on
the current road conditions.
33) To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of
about 500 km is needed: during this period
it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and
prolonged braking.
34) If the ABS intervenes, this indicates
that the grip of the tyres on the road is
nearing its limit: you must slow down to a
speed compatible with the available grip.
35) The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the
grip available according to the condition of
the road.
36) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
button on
aquaplaning.
37) The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
38) For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
39) The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.
40) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
41) The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
42) For the correct operation of the ESC
system, the tyres must necessarily be of
the same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
43) ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
