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
On the dashboard, right next to the power seat button.
"ASR" aka "anti-slip-reduction" ecu will cut power from going to wheels when it detects whell slippage in snow-sand etc.........ok?
dunno bout ars but vw's asr button is the anti slip regulation (traction control)
It is the "Anti Slip Regulator". Its a form of traction control.
The ASR backup process creates two items: a full backup of the drive on which Windows is installed and an ASR floppy disk on which information that will help Windows use Automated System Recovery (ASR) is stored.
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.
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.
