an obstacle, especially in poor road
conditions.
If these conditions occur, the system
intervenes on the brakes and engine
power to reduce the possibility that the
wheels are raised from the ground. It
is not possible to avoid tendency to
roll over if the phenomenon is due to
reasons such as driving on high side
gradients, collision with objects or other
cars.

HOLD 'N' GO
It is an integral part of the ESC system
and keeps the car braked in all
conditions. The Hold 'n' Go function
can be activated from the panel in
SCORPION TRACK mode; it is always
active in SCORPION STREET and
TURISMO modes.
If activated, after detecting that the car
is stationary and the brake pedal has
been released, the Hold 'n' Go function
keeps the vehicle braked. You can now
remove your foot from the brake pedal.
When the driver lightly touches the
accelerator pedal, the Hold 'n' Go
function releases the brake again,
leaving the car free to move.
If the car is stationary and one of the
following conditions required by the
Hold 'n' Go function is changed:
driver's door closed
driver's seat belt not fastened
the function is deactivated and the EPB
is automatically engaged.

DISABLING ACTIVE
SAFETY SYSTEMS
Depending on the versions, there are
3 configurations for the active safety
systems on the car:
systems enabled;
systems partially disabled;
systems disabled.
Systems enabled
All active safety systems are enabled.
This mode should be used in most
driving conditions. The system will be
in "Systems enabled" mode every time
the motor is started.
WARNING You are advised to select
"Systems partially disabled" or
"Systems disabled" modes only for
specific driving requirements.
Systems partially disabled
By pressing the button (A) fig. 97 on
the control display located on the left
side of the instrument panel (left-hand
drive versions) for less than 5 seconds,
while the car is running, it is possible to
limit the intervention of the TC system
to the braking action on the individual
driving wheels only. The other systems
remain enabled.
The activation of the mode is indicated
by the warning light on the
instrument panel switching on.
97 AB0A0525
To restore the "Fully Enabled Systems"
mode of operation, press the button on
the control display located on the left
side of the instrument panel (left-hand
drive versions) again.
"Systems completely enabled" mode
will automatically reactivate every time
the motor is started.
WARNING When travelling on snowy
roads with snow chains, it may be
helpful to activate "Systems partially
disabled" mode: in these conditions,
slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain
better traction.
