If warning light

x only lights

up on the instrument panel

(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights

> and x on the instru-

ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).

In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(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
brake circuit thus supporting the driver to
obtain prompt and effective braking.

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

switching on together with the message
on the multifunction display, where pro-
vided).

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)

The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.

The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light

á on the instrument panel, to in-

form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.

When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-

sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
