ASR dash light?

i was picking apart a guage cluster today when i noticed the little car in the top left corner (where the FWD and AT OIL TEMP light come on) has another indicator bulb that says ASR, anyone know what it means and what turns it on?

Could mean "Anti-slip regulation", which is a type of electronic traction control to prevent wheelspin. Never heard of that being fitted to an SVX though. Why would you need it when you have 4WD and a limited slip diff.

I just found an article that says the prototype SVX had "ASR Traction Control".

Not easily, you'd have to have a means of reading frequency, Then determine exactly what frequency 50/50 is. Once you overcome that, it's as simple as a relay to turn on the light.
Like a lot of good ideas, it's not impossible, just difficult.
