ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) System (Option: LT1 VS Engine) Your vehicle may have a traction control system called ASR that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one orboth of the rear wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power (by closing the throttle and managing engine spark)to limit wheel spin. The LOW T R A C light will come on when your ASR system is limiting wheel spin, See"Low Traction Light" in the Index. You may feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. The ASR system may operate on dry roads under some conditions, and you may notice a reduction in acceleration when this happens. This is normal and doesn't mean there's a problem with your vehicle. Examples of these conditions include a hard acceleration in a turn, or an abrupt upshift or downshift. Also, when the compact spare tire is on the rear axle, the ASR system will cycle and limit acceleration for about the first 15 seconds of driving after each enginestart. I f your vehicle is in cruise control when the ASR system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. (See "Cruise Control" i n the Index.) When the system is on, the ASR OFF warning light will come on to let you know if there's a problem with your ASR system. See "ASR System Warning Light'' i n the Index. ASR OFF When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. The ASR system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially i n 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 on the console near the cigarette lighter. 4-9
