Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control)  optimises  traction  to  prevent  skidding Â
o
f  the  wheels,  by  acting  on  the  brakes  of  the Â
d
riving  wheels  and  on  the  engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
 of  one  or  more  wheels  and  on  the  engine Â
t
o  keep  the  vehicle  on  the  trajectory  required Â
b
y  the  driver,  within  the  limits  of  the  laws  of Â
p
hysics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each  time  the  vehicle  is  started.
They
 come  into  operation  in  the  event  of  a  grip Â

This
 is  indicated  by  flashing  of  this Â
w

Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud,  ...),  if  you  are  unable  to  move  off,  it  may Â
b
