Driving Modes - Alfa Romeo Giulietta Owner's Handbook Manual

"Alfa DNA" SYSTEM
(Dynamic control system)
This device allows, using switch A-fig. 80 (on the central tunnel),
three response modes to be selected according to driving style
and road conditions:
❍ d = Dynamic (for sporty driving)
❍ n = Normal (normal driving mode)
❍ a = All Weather (driving mode for poor grip conditions, i.e. rain
and snow on the road)
The device also acts on the dynamic vehicle control systems (en-
gine, steering, VDC system, instrument panel).
When the lever A-fig. 80 is moved to "d" position, the activation
of "Dynamic" mode is confirmed by a temporary variation in the
brightness (flashing) of the instrument panel.

configurable multifunction display, as illustrated below:
