IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without
having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off
and engaged the first gear.

ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on how slippery the road is, two different
control systems are activated:
if slipping involves both driving wheels, the ASR
function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
will light up in the
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in
the following conditions:

increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
slipping of the inner wheel round bends due to
dynamic variations in the load of excessive
acceleration;
excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in
relation to road surface conditions;
acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;

(aquaplaning).
