Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control)
optimises traction by using engine
braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid one or more
wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the
vehicle’s trajectory and the path desired
by the driver, the dynamic stability
control system automatically uses engine
braking and the brakes on one or more
wheels to return the vehicle to the
desired path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
● adverse environmental conditions, e.g.
rain, fog or snow
It is in conditions of reduced grip
(rain, snow, ice) that the risk of
● vehicle ahead creating road spray
loss of grip increases. It is therefore
important for your safety to keep these
systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on compliance with
After an impact or when damages are
visible have the vehicle checked by a
workshop.
The system performance may be
affected by:
the manufacturer's recommendations
relating to the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components,
as well as the assembly and repair
procedures provided by dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems
remain effective in wintry conditions,
● Electronic Stability Control and Anti-
Slip Regulator (ASR) in progress
● vehicle battery voltage out of range
● wet road reflecting lights
● close vehicles ahead
These systems are activated
automatically every time the vehicle is
started.
