fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
43) When the ABS intervenes it means
that you are approaching the grip limit
between tyres and road: Slow down to
exploit all the available grip.
44) The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the
grip available according to the condition of
the road.
45) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed
on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
46) The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously,
in such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
52) ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
53) For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be
the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and dimensions.
54) TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
55) The TC system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty,
the "general failure" instrument panel
warning light
comes on steady.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the Traction Plus on and thus inhibiting
the TC system: in fact, in these
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels
when moving off makes it possible to
obtain better traction.
47) For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.

56) The TC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
57) The capability of the TC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the
safety of others.
58) The PBA system cannot overrule
the natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
59) The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
60) The capability of the PBA system
must never be tested irresponsibly
48) The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.
49) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
50) The capability of the ESC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the
safety of others.
40) To achieve maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a settlement period
of about 500 km (310 miles) is required.
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated
and prolonged braking.
41) When the ABS cuts in and you feel
the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
42) To achieve maximum efficiency of the
braking system, a settlement period of
about 500 km is required. During this time,
avoid sudden, repeated and prolonged
braking.
51) For the correct operation of the ESC
system, the tyres must necessarily be of
the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
