Switching The Asr System On And Off - Fiat Ducato Owner's Handbook Manual

SWITCHING THE ASR
SYSTEM ON AND OFF
The ASR function switches on auto-
matically each time the engine is
started.
When travelling the device can be
switched off and on again pressing
switch A-fig. 143 on the centre con-
sole.
Function deactivation is indicated by
the instrument panel warning light A-
fig. 144 coming on. If the ASR func-
tion is turned off when travelling, it
will be restored at the following start-
up.
fig. 143
For correct operation of the ASR
system the tyres must absolutely be of
the same brand and type on all
wheels, in perfect conditions and,
above all, of the specified type, brand
and size.
IMPORTANT When travelling on
snowy road 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.

ASR system failure indication
In the event of malfunctioning, the
ASR system is automatically discon-
nected and the warning light V on
the instrument panel comes on with
fixed light.
Press once button A-fig. 143 to
check that the signalled information is
correct:
– button pressed, the warning light
goes off, no ASR system faults are de-
tected;
– button pressed, the warning light
stays on, ASR system fault detected.
In this case the vehicle will go o as a
vehicle not equipped with this system.
Anyway, you are recommended to go
to a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
