SWITCHING ON/OFF OF THE ASR SYSTEM
The ASR function switches on automatically each time the engine is
started.
When travelling the device can be switched off and on again pressing
switch ASR OFF on the centre console.
Switching on is indicated by the relevant message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (where provided) (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
When the device is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led
on the ASR OFF button and by the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
If the ASR function is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again
automatically the next time the engine is started
When travelling on snow with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR device off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels
when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.

WARNING
The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the
driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road
safety is always the driver’s responsibility.
