STR SYSTEM

(SPORT THROTTLE

RESPONSE)

(optional for versions/markets where

applicable)

The STR system offers the driver the

possibility of brilliant, sporty driving with-

out forsaking relaxing driving in other cir-

cumstances with smoother, more gradual

engine response.

In fact, according to preference, the dri-

ver can choose between sporty fast accel-

eration control and smoother more grad-

ual control, for example in city driving.

To engage the sporty response (also

when travelling), press the switch (A-

fig. 76) on the centre console. To pre-

vent this function from being engaged un-

intentionally, the system requires the ac-

celerator pedal to be completely released

for engagement. When the sporty re-

sponse is enabled warning light (B) on

the switch lights up.

To restore the most comfortable re-

sponse press the button again (A) and

completely release the accelerator: the

warning light (B) on the switch goes out.

Whenever the engine is switched on,

the control unit positions on the most

comfortable response. If before switching

off the sporty response was stored, it will

automatically be retrieved releasing the

accelerator pedal after the first accelera-

tion.

Automatic engagement

The system allows passing from the s-

tandard map to the sporty one with a

quick press on the accelerator. This func-

tion is useful in all situations, such as for

example overtaking or emergency ma-

noeuvres, where maximum acceleration

is needed.

When the need for maximum power

ceases, the system automatically resumes

the standard map.
