The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion.
Operation of the ASR systemWhen this system is opera- ting, this light flashes.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) This system is linked with and com-
plements the ABS. Disarming the ASR system In exceptional conditions (starting the vehicle when stuck in mud, on
snow, on unstable ground ... ), it may
prove useful to disarm the ASR sys-tem to allow the wheels to skid andregain grip. ☞
Press switch Ain the centre of
the fascia panel.
The indicator light on the switch and the warning light
