Switching on/off the ESC and ASR
The ESC is switched on automatically when
the engine is started, and only works when
the engine is running and includes the ABS,
EDS and ASR systems.
The ASR function should only be switched off
in situations in which traction is insufficient, in-
cluding:
When driving in deep snow or on surfaces
●
that are not very firm.
To "free" the vehicle if it gets stuck.
●
Then switch the ASR function back on.
Depending on the finishes and versions, there
is the possibility of disconnecting only the
ASR or activating the ESC Sport mode.
