Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)The DSC system offers exceptional safety   in   normal   driving,   but   this   should  
n

ot   encourage   the   driver   to   take   extra  
r

isks   or   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  correct   operation   of   the   system

d

ealers.
After
  an   impact,   have   the   system

Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
As
  soon   as   they   detect   a   problem   of   grip   or  
t

rajectory,   these   systems   act   on   the   operation   if  
t

he   engine   and   brakes.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t

he   DSC   system,   so   that   the   wheels   can   move  
f

reely   and   regain   grip.
This
 
is
 
indicated
 
by
