INDEX
98
Via this function the engine management control unit
allows - in relation to the position of the accelerator
pedal and for a limited time - maximum pressure
levels to be reached inside the turbocharger, with a
consequent increase in engine torque with respect to
that which is normally possible.
This function is particularly useful whenever
maximum performance is required for a short time
(e.g. when overtaking).
The letter S is lit up in the instrument panel display
when the function is switched on. Press the button
again to switch the function off and restore the
coming
normal driving setting.
