DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
MSR system
(engine drive regulation)
This is an integral part of the ASR system
that, in the event of sudden gear shifting
on hills, cuts in to provide torque to the
engine, thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drag which, especially in poor grip
conditions, can lead to loss of stability.
Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing button
A-fig.
100 , located among the controls on the
dashboard.
If the system is off, the LED on the button
lights up together with a message shown
on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, the
slipping of the drive wheels when moving
off makes it possible to get better traction.
For the correct operation of
the ESP and ASR systems,
the tyres must be the same make and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tion and, above all, of the type, make
and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
This system controls car traction and
intervenes automatically every time one
or both driving wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒
if the slipping involves both drive
wheels, the ASR function intervenes by
reducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒
if the slipping only involves only one
drive wheel, the ASR system cuts in
by automatically braking the wheel
that is slipping.
The ASR system is particularly helpful in
the following circumstances:
❒
slipping of the inner wheel when cor-
nering due to the effect of dynamic
load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒
too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the condi-
tions of the road surface;
❒
acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy
surfaces;
❒
loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).
