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.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
ABS FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by 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
the instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
warning light on the
and on
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
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.
