System Intervention; Failure Indications; Abs Failure; Ebd Failure - Fiat Ducato Owner's Manual

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be
altered to suit the type of road surface.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the grip
between tyre and the road surface has
reached the limit: you must slow down to match
the speed to the road grip available.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the > warning light in the in-
strument panel together with the dedicated message in the
multifunction display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed) coming on (see "Warning lights and messages" section).
In this case, the braking system will work as normal, but
without the extra capacity offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked.

EBD failure

ABS failure is indicated by the > and x warning lights
in the instrument panel together with the dedicated mes-
sage in the multifunction display (for versions/markets
where provided)coming on (see "Warning lights and mes-
sages" section).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the ve-
hicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
WARNING
If only the x warning light in the instru-
ment panel lights up (together with a mes-
sage in the multifunction display, for versions/ mar-
kets where provided) stop the vehicle immediate-
ly and go to the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leak-
ing from the hydraulic system will compromise the
operation of the braking system, whether it is of
the conventional type or with ABS.
