The ASR system is a driving aid that assists the driver in acceleration manoeuvres,
particularly on low-grip surfaces or under conditions that can cause sudden back-
wheel slippage. The ASR in these situations automatically intervenes by reducing
engine output within the limit imposed by the grip conditions, contributing significantly
to the maintenance of stability the vehicle.
WARNING
THE ASR SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE RECOGNITION OF SPEED DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR WHEEL. IN ORDER FOR THE SYSTEM TO MAIN-
TAIN MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY IN ALL CONDITIONS, THE CALIBRATION PRO-
CEDURE
MUST BE PERFORMED EVERY TIME, EVEN IN CASE OF REPLACE-
MENT OF JUST ONE TIRE.
FOR THE CALIBRATION OF THE CONTROL UNIT PERFORM THE PROCEDURE
BELOW.
