SOUND SYSTEM
(optional for versions/markets
where applicable)
The fixed sound system, with cassette
player (radio with cassette player) or CD
player with parametric sound equalizer
(radio with CD player) has been designed
to suit the specific characteristics of the
passenger compartment, with a
personalised design that matches the
style of the dashboard. The sound system
instructions for use are described in the
attached supplement.
AUTOMATIC REAR
GEOMETRY CONTROL
(optional for versions/markets
where applicable)
The car is fitted with a semi-bearing hydropneumatic
system with built-in self-levelling
functions (due to an active element incorporated
in the rear shock absorbers) and
damping, applied to the rear suspensions instead
of conventional shock absorbers.
When the car is loaded with passengers
and luggage, the rear geometry lowers in
relation to the rigidity of the spring system
and the load. However, as soon as the car
moves off the system utilises the movements
induced on the wheels by the roughness
of the road surface to increase its bearing
capacity and higher the body up to a
pre-established position that will be kept under
any load condition.
The distance that must be covered to reach
the levelling condition is approx. 2,000 metres
and it may vary depending on the road
bottom.
WARNING
When using the boot, never
exceed the maximum
permissible loads given in the
“Technical specifications” chapter.
The load carried and its arrangement
in the boot modify road holding
of the car in any case even if
the geometry is kept constant by
the automatic device.
