How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Assess the surface, traffic and desired powertrain response before selecting a mode.

  2. 02

    Rotate to n for normal driving and the standard engine/transmission response.

  3. 03

    Rotate to d for a sharper accelerator, sports mapping and a red display.

  4. 04

    Rotate to a for reduced engine performance, ECO shifting and low-grip-oriented stability thresholds.

  5. 05

    Use RACE only on a Quadrifoglio in an appropriate controlled setting, and verify the selected mode in the cluster.

Important limits

  • Dynamic increases accelerator sensitivity and requires deliberate control.
  • RACE is not present on non-Quadrifoglio trims.
  • The vehicle returns to Natural when the engine is stopped.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Return the selector to Natural and reselect the desired mode if the change is not accepted.
  • ✓A stability, powertrain or selector fault message requires diagnosis before relying on a special mode.
