Furthermore, the system is equipped
with a connector for interfacing with
specific tools used to read the error
codes stored in the control unit memory
along with a set of diagnostic and
engine specific parameters.
Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible if
the U warning light either
does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes
on, with fixed or flashing light,
when travelling. Warning light U
operation can be checked by
means of special equipment by
traffic agents. Always comply
with the road traffic regulations
in force in the Country where you
are travelling.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
problem, your Fiat Dealership will
run a bench test to fully check the system.
In some cases, a long road test
may be required.
96 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
– if the slipping involves both the driving
wheels, the ASR function intervenes
reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
– if slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in automatically
braking the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR is particularly
helpful in the following circumstances:
– slipping of the inner wheel due to
the effect of dynamic load changes or
excessive acceleration.
– too much power transmitted to
the wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface.
– acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces.
– in the case of loss of grip on a wet
surface (aquaplaning).
WARNING
The performance of the
system, in terms of active
safety should not induce the driver
to take pointless and unnecessary
risks. The style of driving must in
any case always be adapted to the
conditions of the road surface, visibility
and traffic. Road safety is always
the driver’s responsibility.
