vehicle again by pressing the brake and accelerator
pedals. If the Gravity Control is not available when
system intervention set-up is engaged, this could be due
to brake overheating. If this happens, wait for a few
minutes.
• If the braking system overheats the system will deacti-
vate through a gradual release of the braking pressure,
leaving vehicle control to the driver. Deactivation of the
Gravity Control system is accompanied by flashing of
the warning light, by a dedicated message in the display
and an acoustic warning. To reactivate the system inter-
vention set-up wait for the system to cool down and turn
the selector again.
• If the speed exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h) and is below
31 mph (50 km/h), the Gravity Control system interven-
tion set-up is deactivated but is ready for being reacti-
vated when the speed drops back below 15 mph
(25 km/h). The indicator in the instrument panel turns
off and the LED on the mode selector stays on. If vehicle
speed exceeds 31 mph (50 km/h), the Gravity Control
system completely deactivates. To reactivate it, turn the
selector again when the speed is again below 15 mph
(25 km/h).
• On level ground in urban areas it is advised to deacti-
vate the Gravity Control system intervention, since for
speeds below 15 mph (25 km/h) in certain conditions,
such as when, shifting gears or driving over bumps
without using the accelerator pedal, the system might
activate.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
This only operates with the key turned to MAR/ON and
the engine started. The steering allows the force required at
the steering wheel to be adjusted to suit driving conditions.
NOTE: When turning the ignition key quickly, full power
steering functionality can be achieved after a few seconds.
SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over accelerator
operations at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of
the steering wheel.
