consumption and emissions in the
standard conditions use of the car.
Buttons on the central console have

reactivate the Start&Stop system.
• I.C.E: to activate/deactivate the drive
mode to ensure increased control on

energy efficiency.
• SPORT: to activate/deactivate a
sportier drive mode. In this mode,
the vehicle has a faster throttle

the two suspensions setting modes:

vehicle configuration obtained is
graphically displayed on instrument

obtained when selecting the “Drive
mode” menu using the buttons on
