“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MAR and engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To activate/deactivate the CITY function,
press the button set on the dashboard.
Activation is indicated by the turning on
of:
❒ wording CITY on the instrument pan-
el (for versions with multifunction dis-
play);
❒ wording CITY on the button, after
pressing it fig. 114.
When the CITY function is on, the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
For Sport versions, this function guaran-
tees improved driving comfort since the
accelerator pedal results suitably calibrat-
ed for gradual accelration/deceleration.
