These sensors allow the ECU to calculate the vehicle speed, vertical and
lateral acceleration, steering angle and instantaneous pressure in the
braking system, and hence to control suspension damping.
This system not only ensures an optimal compromise between racing-style
performance (handling) and comfort, but is capable of emphasising either
aspect by using the different adjustments available controlled by the
"Manettino" driving mode control switch. Three different setting levels
are available on this vehicle.
Level 1 (COMFORT)
Setting optimised to enhance comfort and obtain the best traction in low-
grip conditions, for example on snow or ice (Manettino set to WET).
Level 2 (SPORT)
Slightly more rigid setting, optimised to better absorb road unevenness
and provide a better grip for everyday driving (Manettino set to SPORT).
Level 3 (RACE)
Even more rigid setting optimised for sports-style and high-speed driving
(track use only) (Manettino set to RACE, CT OFF and ESC OFF).
Driving using the driving mode control switch ("Manettino")
The driving mode control switch on the steering wheel allows the driver to
use the vehicle potential in a fast and intuitive way.
There are five modes available, which correspond to the grip level (from
low to high) and consequently to the level of driving assistance required
(from high to none).

WET mode
In "WET" mode, performance is optimised to obtain maximum stability
which is essential for use in low-grip conditions (snow or ice). Suspension
damping is optimised to provide the best possible absorption and traction
on snow or ice (Level 1); the ESC system is at its maximum level.
If "WET" is selected, it is indicated on the left TFT display.
SPORT mode
"SPORT" mode is for sports-style driving in high-grip conditions. This
mode is designed to ensure stability only in medium-high grip conditions.
Suspension damping shifts to Level 2 and gearshifting is more racy. The
ESC system also switches to a different level offering you greater driving
freedom. If "SPORT" mode is selected, it is indicated on the left TFT
display.
RACE mode
In "RACE" mode, gearshifting favours the racing style of the vehicle
whereas the ESC system shifts to Level 3 (engine power reductions
are minimal) and the suspension becomes even stiffer (Level 3). The
performance ABS shifts to "Sport" level. This mode is designed to ensure
stability on the race track in high grip conditions.
