The ASR status is monitored simultaneously with the status of the emergency brake assist system; a special BAS/ASR indicator lamp warns the driver of any detected violations (see section Instrument cluster, gauges and control lamps and indicator lights).
If necessary, the traction control system can be forcibly switched off using the appropriate console switch (see section Interior controls and equipment).
When the ASR system is deactivated, the warning lamp integrated into the speedometer assembly is activated (see section Instrument cluster, gauges and control lamps and indicator lights). ASR is reactivated using the same switch.
Maximum efficiency of ASR in winter is achieved by using M+S class tires (for driving on mud and snow).
Attention! Using tires of different sizes on the drive axle leads to a noticeable decrease in the effectiveness of the anti-slip system!
Note: If the anti-lock brake system (ABS) fails, the traction control system is also disabled.
