Driving
"I.C.E." drive mode. This is the
default ride height when "CORSA"
drive mode (TROFEO version only)
is set. System automatically lowers
the vehicle when speed exceeds 170
km/h (105 mph) or when it remains
between 170 km/h (105 mph) and
185 km/h (115 mph) for over 15
seconds. The system will return to
Aero 1 height when the vehicle speed
remains between 155 km/h (96 mph)
and 140 km/h (87 mph) for over 15
seconds or if the vehicle speed falls
below 140 km/h (87 mph).
• Easy/Entry: lowers the vehicle by
approx. 45 mm (1.8 in).

This mode lowers the vehicle for
easier passenger entry and exit
as well as lowering the rear of
the vehicle for easier loading and
unloading of cargo from the boot
compartment. This ride height can
be set only in "NORMAL", "SPORT
", "
(Suspension)" or "I.C.E.".
After selecting this height, once the
vehicle speed goes below 24 km/h
(15 mph), the vehicle height will
begin to lower. To exit "Entry/Exit"
mode, move selector to another
position or drive the vehicle over 24
km/h (15 mph). Automatic lowering
of the vehicle into "Entry/Exit"
mode can be enabled through the
258
MTC+ (refer to "MTC+ Settings"
in section "Dashboard Instruments
and Controls"). If this feature is
enabled, the vehicle will only lower
if the gearshift lever is in P (Park),
the engine is running, doors and
liftgate are closed and the pneumatic
suspension system should be either in
"NORMAL" or "Aero". The Vehicle
will not automatically lower if the
pneumatic suspension system is in
"Off Road 2" or "Off Road 1" mode.
The lowering will be suppressed
when the ignition is switched off and
a door is opened to prevent setting
the alarm off.

Lowering Vehicle Height for Inactivity

Lowering of vehicle ground clearance
after a long period of inactivity should
be considered normal since it is due to
a drop of pressure in the pneumatic
suspension system.
Approximately, after one week of
inactivity, vehicle ground clearance
will lower by 10 mm (0.4 in). To set off
the drop of pressure due to inactivity,
it is necessary to start the engine and
allow some time until system reaches
operating pressure and lifts the vehicle
to set ride height. A message on
instrument cluster display will warn
driver when set ride height is reached.
Driving vehicle before the set riding
height is reached is not safe and could
damage suspension components.
WARNING!
After a long period of inactivity, drive
the vehicle only when reaches set ride
height to prevent any problems of the
pneumatic suspension system from
limiting occupants' safety.

"Launch Control" Mode

(TROFEO version only)
"Launch Control" mode is a
performance start procedure. By
activating this procedure you get
the best possible acceleration from
standstill of the car.
This mode allows you to ground
the torque necessary to prevent
the wheels from slipping during
acceleration performance.
