ASCT: Automatic Stability Control + Traction, prevents the rear drive wheels from spinning and ensures optimum traction and driving stability. Whenever the wheels threaten to spin, for example when setting off or when accelerating out of a bend, engine management reduces drive power accordingly. Should this not be sufficient to re-stabilise the car, the rear wheels are slowed down (depending on the load) either individually, one after the other, or both together by the brakes until the car regains traction. This control process takes place within milliseconds, the driver being informed when ASC+T is activated by a light flashing on and off in the instrument panel. And in order to generate extra wheel spin when required, for example when "rocking" the car out of snow, you can deactivate the ASC+T function.
