ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System
Warning Light (Option)
ASR
OFF
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn't come on then,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there's
a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there
may be a problem with your ASR system and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on.
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
If your brakes begin to overheat, the brake portion of the
ASR system will shut down, but the throttle and engine
spark control will continue to work. The warning light
will not come on when this happens.
The ASR system warning light may come on for the
following reasons:
If you turn the system off by pressing the button
located on the console near the cigarette lighter, the
warning light will come on and stay on. To turn the
system back on, press the button again. The warning
light should go off. (See "ASR System" in the Index
for more information.)
e
If the temperature of the throttle control begins to
rise, the system will turn off and the warning light will
come on until the system cools down. The system does
this to prevent damage from overheating.
If the ASR system warning light comes on and stays
on
for an extended period of time when the system is
turned on, your vehicle needs service.
