The ASR function switches on automatically each time the engine is started.
When travelling the device can be switched off and on again pressing switch ASR OFF on the centre console.
Switching on is indicated by the relevant message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
When the device is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the ASR OFF button and by the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
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 conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.
