FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light > on the instrument pan-
el (together with the dedicated message
on the display) (see section “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case the
braking system is still efficient, though
without the aid of the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the closest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights > and

x on the in-

strument panel (together with the mes-
sage on the display) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”).

In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.

If the instrument panel
warning light

x turns on

(together with the message on the dis-
play), stop the car immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

WARNING

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(where provided)

The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
braking circuit.

Brake Assist is deactivated on versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light

turning on together with the message on
the display).
