SERVICE
ASR
This warning light will
come on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your
ASR system. See “ASR
System Warning Light” in
the Index.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. (The ASR
OFF light will also come on when the ASR system
warning light comes on.)
The ASR system automatically comes on whenever you
start your vehicle.
To limit wheel spin, especially in
I 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 button located above-the
headlamp switch. The ASR
OFF light will come on and
stay on.
If the ASR system is limiting wheel spin when
you press the button,
the system will turn off right away.
You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The ASR
OFF light should go off.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to.
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.
