ABS FIAT BRAVO 2015 2.G User Guide

WARNING
The ABS with which the car may be
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.WARNING
Never modify the braking system of the
car to control the trailer brake.The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car ’s hydraulic system.
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the
bodywork by specialised personnel according to any
additional and/or integrative information supplied
by the Manufacturer of the device. The towing device
must meet current regulations with reference to
Directive 94/20/EEC and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used must be right
for the towable weight of the car on which it is to
be installed. IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads other than
external lights (electric brake, winch, etc.) must
be used with engine running.
For the electric connection a unified connector
should be used, which is generally placed on a special
bracket fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU should be installed on the car to control the
trailer's exterior lights.
7 or 13-pole 12 V DC connections should be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow any
instructions provided by the car manufacturer and/or
the towing device manufacturer.
An electric brake or winch should be powered
directly by the battery through a cable with a
cross-section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brakes or other devices must
be used with engine running.
In addition to the electrical branches, the vehicle's
electrical system can be connected only to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more than 15 W. For
connections use the preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.

WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when there is water in
the diesel filter.
The display will show the dedicated message.The presence of water in the fuel system
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning light
switches on (on
some versions together with the dedicated
message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens,
switch the engine off immediately and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
The warning light will switch on when the system is
either not working or not available.
Under these circumstances, the braking system will
work as normal but without the extra performance
offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
The display will show the dedicated message.
EBD FAILURE (red) (amber)
If warning lightsand
are lit up at the same
time with the engine running, this indicates an EBD
system failure or that the system is not available.
Early locking of the rear wheels may occur in the
event of violent braking, causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately. The display
shows the dedicated message.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its
alignment;
❒ when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst .
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only.Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted
light and even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In
case of accidental contact , wipe the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dr y.If possible, we recommend have bulbs
replaced by a Fiat Dealership.The correct
operation and aiming of the outer lights
are absolutely essential for the safety of the car
and of compliance with law.Due to the high supply voltage, gas
discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) (for versions/
markets, where provided) must only be
replaced by a specialist technician: danger of
death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or
after heavy rain or washing, the surface of headlights
or rear lights, may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in temperature
and humidity between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a fault and does
not compromise the normal operation of lighting
devices. The mist disappears quickly when the lights
are turned on, starting from the centre of the
diffuser, extending progressively towards the edges.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark).
If the fluid level in the tank is too low, undo reservoir
cap D (see previous pages) and add the fluid
described in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir and
the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not
enter the reservoir when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated
filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. If contact accidentally occurs,
immediately wash the affected areas with
water and a neutral detergent , and then rinse
thoroughly with water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.WARNING
The symbolon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is
different from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond
repair.

LEATHER SEATS
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp
cloth, without exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean
with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened with
water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the
cleaning products used contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
The fabric upholstery of your car has
been designed to withstand wear deriving
from common use of the car.You are
however recommended to avoid strong and/or
continuous scratching with clothing accessories
such as metal buckles, studs,Velcro fastenings and
the like, as these items cause stress of the cover
fabric that could lead to yarn breaking and
damage the upholstery. PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To
clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products
free from solvents and designed to maintain the
original appearance and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of paper
tissues is not recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the instrument panel lens.
