On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display. When
the system is not active, the LED on the button ASR
OFF turns on and, on some versions, a message
appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the next
time the car is started the ASR is automatically
activated.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving
off makes it possible to obtain better traction.

WARNING

For the correct operation of the ESC
and ASR systems it is vital that the tyres

are the same make and the same type on all
the wheels, in perfect condition and, above all,
the recommended type, make and size.

WARNING

The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is being used. Always

remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip.

WARNING

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with the ESC and

ASR systems.Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic.The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
