Fiat 500L 2012, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 109 / 348

The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 106.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display. When the system is deactivated, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions, a
message appears on the display.
If the ASR is disengaged during driving, this is
automatically reactivated at the following car starting.
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 ESC and ASR systems to operate
correctly, all four tyres must, above all,
be the prescribed brand and type, they must be
in excellent condition and feature the
prescribed type 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.
