IMPORTANT When turning the ignition  
key quickly, full power steering  
functionality can be achieved after a  
few seconds.  
To deactivate the "Off Road" mode and  
return to the "Auto" mode, rotate the  
ring nut to the left and hold in this  
position for half a second. In this case,  
the LED corresponding to “Auto” mode  
will light up and the “Off Road” mode

ACTIVATION/  
DEACTIVATION  
IMPORTANT In this case it is not  
advisable trying to drive down roads  
with a steep gradient, the system  
cannot help the driver in any way.  
Press the CITY fig. 82 button to  
activate/deactivate the function. The  
activation of the function is signalled by  
the word CITY on the display (in some  
versions it is signalled by the word CITY  
appearing on the instrument panel).  
When the CITY function is on, the  
steering wheel effort is lighter, making  
parking easier: therefore, this function is  
particularly useful for driving in city  
centres.  
IMPORTANT If “Off Road” or “Auto”  
mode was active when the engine was  
stopped, the next time it is started  
the mode that was selected is  
reactivated.
