Fault indications
The
warning light will switch on in the event of a
fault (see "Warning lights and messages").
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle without
activating the handbrake, switching off the engine and
engaging first gear.
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must be the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒ if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒ if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in
the following conditions:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel on bends due to
dynamic variations in the load or excessive
acceleration;
❒ excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in
relation to road surface conditions;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;
❒ loss of grip on wet road surfaces (aquaplaning).
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must be the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
