ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System
Warning Light (Option)
ASR
OFF
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
switch located on
the instrument panel and the warning light will come on
and stay on. To turn the system back on, press the switch
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
LOW
TRAC
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.
