Controls Preview
The Digital Drive Mode Selector is
an unstable rotary knob, equipped
with a round touchscreen display on
top, that moves both clockwise and
counterclockwise, returning on its
initial mechanical stable position when
released. A trident startup animation is
always performed at any key on or key
off.
On the top of the screen there are two
dots that represent the Suspension
menu (1) and the Drive Mode menu (2).
The dot highlight shall follow the current
selected menu.
NOTE:
If in any other menu, after a timeout of
10 seconds, the main content menu is
automatically selected.
NOTE:
• "GT" is the default drive mode,
optimized for the best balance
between performances, fuel
consumptions and emissions in the
standard conditions use of the car.
• At key ON, with engine on, if any
engine, transmission, brake or steering
wheel failure is prompted on the
instrument cluster, it is not possible to
change drive mode; GT Mode is the
only one available.
• At key on, with engine off, any Drive
Mode can be set, except CORSA or
ESC OFF.
Drive Mode Carousel
The main content of the Digital Drive
Mode Selector is the Drive mode
carousel that shows the current selected
drive mode and the previous and next
drive mode. At each change of drive
mode, the carousel shall move up or
down but the selected drive mode shall
be shown always in the centre with an
animation. The drive modes list is (from
top to the bottom):
• WET: to activate the drive mode
to ensure increased control on
slippery surfaces as well as higher
energy efficiency, especially when
accelerating or cornering, by limiting
engine thrust and activating all dynamic
controls.
• GT: to activate a comfortable drive
mode. In this mode, performance and
comfort meet. It allows for smooth
shifting and smooth suspension making
its impressive strength easily steerable.
Ideal for everyday driving, it offers
unstoppable grand tourer comfort.
• SPORT: to activate a sportier drive
mode: The best track performance
depends on the combination of power
and sporty traction. SPORT mode
offers a stiffer suspension setting, as
well as a faster and more direct gear
shift.
• CORSA: to activate a race drive
mode. The most extreme experience
behind the wheel. Maximum power is
immediately available, gear shifting is
lightning fast (under 100 ms), exhaust
valves are always open and traction
control is reduced. When in CORSA
mode, you can also activate the Launch
Control to experience the extraordinary
acceleration from a standstill.
By selecting one of these drive
modes the vehicle configuration
obtained is graphically displayed on
instrument cluster. Refer to chapter
"Instrument Cluster Overview" in section
"Instruments and Controls" for further
information.
