automatic slip control

The ASR warning light has come on and off intermittently in my 1993 400E. has anyone had this problem? What needs to be done to correct the problem? Thanks

There are some possibilities you can check w/o seeing a mechanic. By the way the triangle light in the dash always comes on when the wheels slip (have different rpm)
*You are accelerating too fast and the ASR system sets in
*You may use differently worn tires, combined with the above
*You are not using the right (recommended) tire/rim sizes
any thoing beyond this needs to be checked by a MB mechanic.
