SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly
and the system gets noisier: it means that the car
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise
your foot , but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current road
conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road
surface has reached the limit : you must slow
down to adapt the speed to the road grip
available.
ABS FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the
warning light on the
instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where available) coming on (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).In the case, the braking system will work as normal
without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
EBD FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where available) coming on (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
WARNING
If only the warning light
on the
instrument panel switches on - together
with a message in the multifunction display
(for versions/markets, where provided) - stop
the car immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the
hydraulic system will compromise the
operation of the braking system, whether it is
of the conventional type or with ABS.
