6.5.3 A.S.R. (Anti Slip Regulator)
This is a vehicle drive control function that comes into operation automatically when one or
both of the driving wheels skid. This function is available only with the ESP.
Two different control systems are actuated, depending on the slip conditions:
if both the driving wheels slip, the ASR comes into operation by reducing the power delivered
by the engine;
if only one driving wheel slips, the ASR comes into operation by automatically braking the
slipping wheel.
The ASR system is very useful especially if the following conditions occur:
inner wheel slip when cornering, due to dynamic load variations or excessive acceleration;
excessive power transmitted to the wheels, even depending on the road surface conditions;
vehicle acceleration on slippery, snow-covered or icy road surfaces;
loss of grip on wet roads.
A.S.R. switch-on/off
The ASR is switched on automatically every time the engine is started.
