F0U0106m fig. 116
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may
be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
if the drive wheels skid when moving off, you get better
traction.
MSR system (engine drive regulation)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of sudden gear shifting on hills, cuts in to provide torque
to the engine, thus preventing excessive driving wheel drag
that, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of
stability.
Switching the system on/off fig. 116
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched off and on again
by pressing button located on the dashboard fig. 116 .
When the ASR is switched off, this is shown by the LED
on the button coming on and by the relevant message ap-
pearing on the multifunction display, where provided.
If you switch off the ASR during a journey, it will come back
on automatically when the engine is next started.

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with this system. Your dri-
ving style must always be suited to the road con-
ditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is always
ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres
must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically
switched off and warning light á will appear permanent-
ly on the instrument panel along with a message on the
multifunction display, where provided (see “Warning lights
and messages”). In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
