ASR or (Acceleration Slip Regulation) also known as traction control toggle switch, allowing you do enable or disable the feature
traction control
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.
If there is a problem with your ABS system your ASR system is inoperable also. Could be something as simple as a wheel bearing tripping up the ABS. Or it could be a problem with the ASR controller.
To turn off the ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) in a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta, locate the ASR button on the dashboard, usually near the gear shift or on the center console. Press the button; a light on the dashboard should illuminate to indicate that ASR is deactivated. If you want to re-enable it, simply press the button again, and the light should turn off. Always consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle.
On the dashboard, right next to the power seat button.
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
"ASR" aka "anti-slip-reduction" ecu will cut power from going to wheels when it detects whell slippage in snow-sand etc.........ok?
Yes.
Yes

The ASR button typically stands for "Automatic Slip Regulation." It is a feature found in some vehicles that helps improve traction by controlling wheel spin during acceleration. When activated, the ASR system can reduce engine power or apply brakes to the wheels that are slipping, enhancing stability and control, especially in slippery conditions. In some vehicles, pressing the ASR button can turn the system off, allowing for more wheel slip, which might be desirable in certain situations like off-road driving.
My Camero is an automatic and it has an SGS button.
