The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful under the following condi-
tions:
TURNING ON THE ASR
FUNCTION
CUTTING IN OF THE VDC
SYSTEM
The ASR function turns on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling it is possible to switch the
system off and on again pressing the switch
(A-fig. 144 ) on the centre console.
The warning light (B-fig. 144 ) on the
switch turns on to indicate that the sys-
tem is off.
If the function is turned off while travel-
ling, it will turn on again automatically
the next time the engine is started.
The cutting in of the VDC system is indi-
cated by the flashing of the warning light
(A-fig. 145 ) on the instrument cluster,
to inform the driver that the car is in criti-
cal conditions of stability and grip.
–
Skidding of the inner wheel on a
bend, due to the effect of the dynamic
changes of the load or over-accelerating.
–
Excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface.
–
Acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy
surfaces.
–
In the case of loss of grip on a wet
surface (aquaplaning).
IMPORTANT When driving on snow,
with snow chains fitted, if may be helpful
to switch off the ASR function: in these
conditions in fact, skidding of the driving
wheels when moving off helps to obtain
better traction.
