Msr System (Engine Drive Adjustment); Esp System Action; Esp And Asr Failure Indication - Lancia Thesis Owner's Handbook Manual

When the ASR function is off, sym-
bol V is lighted on the multifunc-
tion display together with the mes-
sage "ASR OFF".
The function deactivation is indi-
cated by switching on of the related
warning light B on the button. If this
function is deactivated during dri-
ving, it will be reactivated automat-
ically at the following start up.
IMPORTANT During driving on a
snow-covered ground, with snow
chains on, it might be useful to deac-
tivate the ASR function: in these
conditions driving wheel slipping at
start up is useful to reach higher
drive.

MSR SYSTEM
(ENGINE DRIVE ADJUSTMENT)
The car is fitted with a system, part
of ASR, affecting the engine torque
in case of sudden gear shift, thus
preventing excessive driving wheel
dragging which, in extremely low
grip conditions, can make the car
loose stability.

ESP SYSTEM ACTION

The ESP action is indicated by
flashing of warning light á on the
instrument panel, to inform the dri-
ver that the car is in critical stability
and grip conditions.
ESP AND ASR FAILURE
INDICATION
In case of failure, ESP and ASR
systems are automatically deactivat-
ed and symbol á and message "ESP
FAULT" will come on with fixed
light on the multifunction display
together with warning light B on the
ASR button.
If the failure affects only the ESP
system, symbol á and message
"ESP FAULT" are lighted on the
multifunction display, while the
warning light on button B is off and
the ASR system remains operating.
If the failure affects only the ESP
system, symbol á and message
"ESP FAULT" are lighted on the
multifunction display, while the
warning light on button B is off and
the ASR system remains operating.
In case of ESP or ASR failure, the
car behaves in the same way as a car
that is not fitted with this system: in
any case it is advisable to contact a
Lancia Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
