ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
It’s a function of ESP system and controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every time one or both
driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different control systems
are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving wheels, the
ASR function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving wheel, the
ASR system cuts in automatically braking the wheel
that is slipping. The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the
following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the effect of
dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the wheels also in
relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface
(aquaplaning).
