[W126 Coupe] Universal dash symbols

[Jonathan]

David,

Engaging the switch only raises the allowable limit of slippage up to 40 
mph, @ which point is resets itself.

If you want to disable the ASR, you can jumper pins 5&6 in the test 
port, or unplug your ABS/ASR Relay.

Just remember when you do either of the above, your ABS is disabled as well.

If anyone plans on taking their SEC to the track/Auto X etc and they 
have ASR I would strongly recommend disabling it as the system is quite 
privative w/ brutally low limits.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but all cars equipped w/ ASR have open 
differentials, ie, non-LSD units as per all the other 560's so donuts in 
the parking lot wouldn't be nearly as much fun;-)
