BRAKE PEDAL
Check if the brake pedal stops at the reg-
ular height without "spongy" feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake sys-
tem inspected by your Fiat Dealership. If
you doubt the brake pedal for the regu-
lar height, check it as follows:
Pedal to wall minimum distance
"a": 40 mm (1.6 in.)
204
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle's brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal ad-
justment.
If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle in-
54G108 spected by your Fiat Dealership.
NOTE When measuring the distance be-
tween the brake pedal and floor wall, be
sure not to include the floor mat or rub-
ber on the floor wall in your measure-
ment.
WARNING
If you experience any of the
following problems with
your vehicle's brake system, have the
vehicle inspected immediately by
your Fiat Dealership.
– Poor braking performance
– Uneven braking (Brakes not work-
ing uniformly on all wheels.)
– Excessive pedal travel
– Brake dragging
– Excessive noise
– Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates
when depressed.)
