ASR stand for anti-slip regulator It allows the car to recover and adjust quicker in adverse situation. It allows for better traction on slippery roads for example. It anticipates what is needed and begin making adjustments automatically giving a safer outcome of the situation.
It is the "Anti Slip Regulator". Its a form of traction control.
On the dashboard, right next to the power seat button.
dunno bout ars but vw's asr button is the anti slip regulation (traction control)
The Anti Slip Regulator stops power to the wheels when they spin, The asr is designed to be turned off only when you require the wheels to spin at low speed EG: when you are on snow or ice - as the asr will stop the power to the wheels if they start spinning you would never get anywhere, Over 20mph the asr is not active and serves no function. This was the best answer I found. I searched the ASR on google and this was someone elses answer on another forum. There are more extensive answers as well.
The asr button stands for Anti Spin Regulation and uses the abs system to assist pulling away on slipery surfaces by putting the brake on of the wheel that is slipping hence all the drive goes to the wheel with grip.it also limits engine revs. By pressing the asr button you can turn this function off, giving the driver full control of the amount of wheel spin,and full throttle. Some trucks use this system and drivers use the asr button to disable the asr when pulling away on a a hill where they need to gain momentum with higher engine revs
traction control
ASR or (Acceleration Slip Regulation) also known as traction control toggle switch, allowing you do enable or disable the feature
"ASR" aka "anti-slip-reduction" ecu will cut power from going to wheels when it detects whell slippage in snow-sand etc.........ok?
Your brake pads need to be replaced. There is actually a sensor wire that breaks when the pad is ground down too far, interrupting a circuit to warn you of imminent pad failure. On older models of Volkswagen this symbol was for the ESP and ASR systems, Electronic Stability Control or Anti-Slip Regulation. If it is on solid it typically represents a fault unless the function has been turned off. This is done with a button on the dash that says ESP or ASR. If it is for a fault it is normally a fault with either the ESP/ASR or sometimes with the ABS. Normally with an ABS fault you would have an ABS warning. The brake pad warning is two paranthesis with an exclamation point in between them.
The ASR, or Acceleration Slip Regulator, commonly known as "Traction Control" is (does) regulation for the traction of the car. Like the nickname implies, the ASR "button" (not botton, learn how to spell) controls traction to make sure the tires don't spin while taking off from a stop.
ASR stands for Anti-Slip Regulation. ASR detects wheel slippage and applies braking force to that particular wheel. That helps prevent skidding around corners and keeps you on track. It's basically a Stability Control feature.
The Anti Slip Regulator (ACR) stops power to the wheels when they spin, for example on loose gravel.
