The ASR system automatically comes on whenever you
start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions,
you
should always leave the
system on. But you can turn the ASR system off if
you
ever need to. (You should turn
the
system off if your
vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See
“Rocking Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
To
turn the system
off,
press
the switch
on
the instrument
panel. The light on the
switch will
go
out.
The ASR system warning light will come on and stay
on. If the
ASR
system
is
limiting wheel spin when you
press the switch, the warning light will come
on
--
but
the system won’t turn off right away. It will wait until
there’s no longer a current need
to
limit wheel spin.
You
can turn the system back
on
at any time by pressing
the switch again. The ASR system warning light should
go off and the light on the switch will come on.
If your car is equipped with P245/5OZR16 tires, the
ASR system will automatically turn off at speeds above
108 mph
(174
kmh). (The ASR system warning light
will not come
on.)
When the vehicle speed drops below
103
mph (166 kmh) the system will automatically come
on again.
Braking
in Emergencies
With anti-lock,
you
can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
