Ferrari F430 SPIDER Owner's Manual page 134

Driving extremely carefully, immediately
go to the nearest workshop of the Ferrari
Service Network to have the system
checked.
If only the failure warning light comes on
when the engine is running, it normally
indicates a malfunction of the ABS system
only. In this case, the braking system
maintains its efficiency, but the anti-locking
device cannot be used.
In these conditions the EBD system
may also function less efficiently. Also in
this case, immediately go to the nearest
workshop of the Ferrari Service
Network to have the system checked,
driving in such a way as to avoid sudden
braking.
If the brake fluid warning light comes on,
immediately stop the vehicle and check the
brake fluid level (see page 112): if the level
is below the minimum level, top up with
the specified fluid and immediately contact
the Ferrari Service Network to have the
system checked.
In fact, any fluid leaks from the hydraulic
system will jeopardise functioning of both
the conventional and the ABS braking
systems.
The system's performance, in terms of
active safety, must not allow the driver to
take unnecessary and unjustified risks.
The driving style shall always be suited to
weather conditions, range of visibility and
134
road traffic conditions.
The maximum deceleration obtainable is
however always dependent on the tyre grip
on the road. Obviously, when there is snow
or ice on the road, grip is greatly reduced
and therefore the braking distance is
greater even if the ABS system is active.
