braking action of the rear wheels.

ed with.
warning light 22 signals that the nandbraKe has been applied
Warning light 14 (Alfa Romeo Control) comes on if the level of
the brake fluid in the reservoirs falls below the minimum. If it
comes on stop the car immediately and check the brake fluid
level. If it is too low check the circuit for failure.
Warning lamp 14 signals also brake pad wear (both trcm and
rear). If it comes on have the worn pads replaced as soon as
possible.
Warning:
If the vehicle is used mainly in mountainous o: dusty
areas and/or used for raliys or racing a more frequent inspec¬
tion of the brake pads is advisable.
The handbrake is mechanically operated. If it is correctly
adjusted the wheels become locked as lever 13 reaches the 4th
to 6th notch.

In the event of accident or damage to the chassis
check that the brake vacuum servo :s undamaged since even
slight servo body damage may impair the operation ot the
brakes and require a greater pressure on the pedal.
