Abs (Only For Vehicles Equipped With Abs ) - MOTO GUZZI BREVA V1100 Manual

ABS (only for vehicles equipped
with ABS )
ABS
ABS is a device preventing wheel locking
in case of emergency braking, thus
increasing vehicle stability under braking if
compared to a standard braking system.
When brake is operated, the tyre might
lock and lose grip and this makes the
vehicle difficult to handle.
A position sensor ≈picks up∆ from the
phonic wheel (fixed to the vehicle wheel)
the wheel status thus detecting its possible
lockup.
The signal is managed by a control unit
that adjusts the pressure inside the braking
system depending on that signal.
NOTE
When the ABS triggers, the rider
can feel a vibration in the brake lever.

WARNING
The ABS system does not prevent
skidding in a curve. Emergency braking
with the vehicle tilted, handlebar turned,
bumpy road surface, or in poor grip
conditions creates a condition of
instability quite hard to handle. It is
therefore recommended to drive carefully
and wisely and brake gradually. Do not be
careless and rely on the system only.
Braking in a curve is governed by special
physical rules that the ABS can not
eliminate.
After the key is turned on, the light (1) stays
on until speed is above 5 km/h, then turns off.
Should the light stay on permanent, it means
that a failure was detected and the ABS is
disabled.
In this case it is advisable to contact a Moto
Guzzi Authorised Dealer.
Running with ABS active
Warning light (1) stays off.
Should a failure occur, the light comes on
permanent indicating the fault. The ABS is
automatically disabled.
In this case it is advisable to contact a
Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer.
Running with ABS not active
Light (1) flashes, the system was disabled
on purpose (not by accident).
Disabling the ABS
It is possible to disable the ABS via switch
(2), see page 26 (ABS DISABLING PUSH-
BUTTON (only for vehicles equipped with
ABS )).
