ASR FUNCTION
Antislip Regulation
Through the ASR function, the ESP
system controls the vehicle’s traction:
it is automatically actuated every time
one or both driving wheels skid.
The ESP systems detects the skid of
one or both driving wheels and re-
duces the power generated from the
engine, making it proportionate to the
roadbed adhesion.
Two different control systems are
actuated, according to the skidding
conditions:
– if the skid of both driving wheels
is caused by the excess power gener-
ated, the ESP system comes into ac-
tion by reducing the engine power;
– if skidding affects only one driving
wheel, the ESP system comes into ac-
tion by automatically braking the
skidding wheel, thus producing an ef-
fect very similar to the one produced
by a self-locking differential.
ESP SYSTEM ACTUATION
SIGNAL
Actuation of the ESP system is sig-
nalled by the flashing of warning
lamp
á
on the dashboard: this in-
forms the driver of the vehicle’s criti-
cal stability and grip conditions.
ESP system fault warning
In case of faults, the ESP system is
automatically switched off: this causes
warning lamp
á
on the dashboard to
light up and stay on.
In case of ESP system faults, the ve-
hicle’s behaviour will be the same as
the models not equipped with this sys-
tem: in any case, it is recommended
that you contact your
Lancia Deal-
ership .
ASR FUNCTION
SWITCHING ON (fig. 177)
The ESP system actuates the ASR
function every time the engine is
started. When the vehicle is running,
the ASR function can be switched off
and then on again by pressing switch
A on the central console.
ASR function switching off is sig-
nalled by the lighting up of LED B on
the switch.
If this function is switched off when
the vehicle is running, it will be auto-
matically switched on again the next
time the engine is started.

It is recommended that
the ASR function be
switched off when snow
chains are fitted to the wheels.
