ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)

It is an integral part of the ESC system. It

automatically operates in the event of drive wheels

slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning)

and acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads,

etc…

Depending on the slipping conditions, two different

control systems are activated:

❒ if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR

intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the

engine;

❒ if the slipping only involves one of the drive

wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the

wheel that is slipping.

Activation/deactivation of the ASR system

The ASR system activates automatically each time

the engine is started.

Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and

subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR

OFF buttonfig. 63.

On some versions, the intervention of the system is

indicated by a message shown on the display. When

the system is not active, the LED on the button ASR

OFF turns on and, on some versions, a message

appears on the display.

When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the next

time the car is started the ASR is automatically

activated.

When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it

may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these

conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving

off makes it possible to obtain better traction.
