GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
This is an integral part of the ESP system and automati-
cally intervenes in case of slip of one or both drive wheels,
helping the driver to control the car. The action of the ASR
is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
❍ slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❍ too much power transmitted to the wheels. also in re-
lation to road surface conditions;
❍ acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen road surfaces;
❍ in the event of loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).
MSR system (engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and provides torque
to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive
which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to a loss
of stability.
Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 73
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started.
When driving it is possible to deactivate and then reacti-
vate the ASR system by pressing the ASR OFF button.
