SWITCHING ON/OFF
OF THE ASR SYSTEM fig. 88
The ASR function switches on auto-
matically each time the engine is
started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the
relevant message on the display (see
section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
When travelling the device can be
switched off and on again pressing
switch A on the central console.
When the device is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up
of the led on the switch.
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 con-
ditions, slipping of the driving wheels
when moving off makes it possible to
obtain better drive.
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, vis-
ibility and traffic. Road safety is
always the driver’s responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of
the ASR system, the tyres
must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in
perfect conditions and, above all,
of type, brand and size specified.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuos di-
agnosis of the components of the car
correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by the turn-
ing on of the warning light
U
on the
instrument cluster (together with the
message on the display) (see section
“Warning lights and messages”),
when these conditions are no longer
in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒
to keep system efficiency under
control;
❒
warn when a fault causes emission
levels to increase;
❒
warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.
The system has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with ap-
propriate tools, which makes it possi-
ble to read the error codes stored in
the control unit, together with a series
of specific parameters for engine op-
eration and diagnosis. This check can
also be performed by traffic controller
agents.
