ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation)
System Warning Light (Option)
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn’t come on then,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there may
be a problem with your ASR system and your vehicle may
need service. When this warning light is on, the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The ASR system warning light will come on if you turn
the system off by pressing the ASR button located on
the console and the warning light will come on and stay
on. To turn the system back on, press the button again.
The warning light should go off. See “ASR System” in
the Index for more information.
If the ASR system warning light comes on and stays on
for an extended period of time when the system is
turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Low Traction Light
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
this light will come on.
If you have the ASR system, this light will also come on
when the system is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or
hear the system working, but this is normal. Slippery
road conditions may exist if the low traction light comes
on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will
stay on for a few seconds after the ASR system stops
limiting wheel spin.
The low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
the anti
-lock brake system or ASR system is active.
