The device allows the driver to choose one of the three modes at his or her convenience by simply moving a selector located in front of the gear lever.</p>
<p class="pGrey12"><span class="hBdBlack16"><br />Natural </span><br />For those who want relaxed, safe driving, in <strong>Natural</strong> mode each individual component affected by the <strong>Alfa DNA </strong>system are in their normal configuration: lively engine, highly discreet Vehicle Dynamic Control and a DST (Dynamic Steering Torque) which sees that oversteering is avoided. The Normal load suggests gear shifts with a <strong>Gear Shift Indicator</strong>, this allows fuel consumption and emissions to be optimised for a perfect drive around town.</p>
<p class="hBdBlack16"><br />Technical specifications</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">VDC and ASR: Standard configuration;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">DUAL PINION ACTIVE STEERING: Standard Setting;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">DST: Standard braking control coordinated with ABS Standard control over lateral acceleration Compensation of oversteer;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">Engine: Standard responsiveness</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="pGrey12"><br /><span class="hBdBlack16">Dynamic </span><br />Drivers who prefer a more sporty drive simply have to move the lever to <strong>Dynamic</strong>: the system thus acts on the steering and on the engine. For a more sporty driving feel that guarantees impeccable control, the steering is made less power assisted: a slight tug on the steering wheel prompts the driver to carry out the most correct manoeuvre. The Dynamic system also offers drivers <strong>better control of side acceleration and improved engine response </strong>due to a specific torque curve.</p>
<p class="hBdBlack16"><br />Technical specifications</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">VDC and ASR Less intrusive;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">DUAL PINION ACTIVE STEERING: More sporty setting;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">DST: Standard braking control coordinated with ABS More control over lateral acceleration Compensation of oversteer;</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="pGrey12">Engine: Faster response – Over-boost on petrol-Specific torque curve.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="pGrey12"><br /><span class="hBdBlack16">All Weather </span><br />On slippery surfaces, drivers can also select <strong>All Weather</strong> mode, which accentuates the effect of traction control and increases sensitivity on <strong>multi-split</strong> (useful when the car is driving over surfaces with differential grip, for example 2 wheels on ice and 2 on asphalt). This system allows maximum roadholding under conditions of low grip.</p>
<p class="hBdBlack16"><br />Technical specifications</p>

<p class="pGrey12"><span class="hBdBlack16"><br />Prefill</span> <br /><strong>Prefill</strong> is a new function that offers drivers incredibly prompt braking pressurising the brake system in advance in the event of an emergency. <strong>The Prefill </strong>is active in the <strong>Alfa DNA Dynamic mode</strong>. In detail, the control unit recognises the driver's desire to brake from the speed at which accelerator pedal is released. At this point the <strong>VDC</strong> increases the pressure inside the braking system by several bars to take up any play and create the sensation of quicker braking response. This system speeds up the operation of the braking system.</p>]]></field><field name="ar_contentCategories"><![CDATA[]]></field></content><content id="229" type="ar_richMedia"><field
