Driving
If the system is deactivated or if it has any
f
au
lt, the w
arning lamp will remain lit. The
warning lamp will also light up if a fault
should occur in the ABS because the ASR op-
erates in conjunction with the ABS. For fur-
ther information, see ››› page 185.
The lamp provides information about the
disconnection status of the system:*
●
It stays lit when the ASR is disconnected
via Easy Connect.
By means of Easy Connect, the ASR function
is reactivated and the warning lamp switched
off.
WARNING
●
Remember that
not even the ASR can defy
the laws of physics. Bear this in mind, partic-
ularly on slippery and wet roads and when
towing a trailer.
●
Always adapt your driving style to suit the
condition of the roads and the traffic situa-
tion. The greater safety provided by the ASR
should not encourage you to run any risks.
CAUTION
●
To ens
ure that the ASR works correctly,
identical tyres should be fitted on all four
wheels. Any differences in the rolling radius
of the tyres can cause the system to reduce
engine power when this is not desired.
●
Any modific
ations made to the vehicle (for
example, to the engine, brake system, run-
ning gear or to the combination of wheels
and tyres) may affect the operation of the
ABS and ASR.
Connecting/disconnecting 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 and ESC function should only be
switched off in situations in which traction is
insufficient, among others:
●
When driving in deep snow or on surfaces
that ar
e not very firm.
●
To “free” the vehicle if it gets stuck.
Then switch the ASR and ESC function back
on.
Depending on finishes and versions, it is
possible either to disconnect only the ASR or
else activate ESC Sport mode.

Sport mode can be connected via the Easy
Connect ››› page 123 system menu. The ESC

control (ESC) option: sport.
Warning! Limited stability.
Disable ESC “Sport” mode
Through the Easy Connect system menu
