ABS failure
If warning light lights up together
with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and messages”) this indicates a fault in the ABS system.
In this case the braking system will still be effective, although without the anti-lock device. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
EBD failure
If warning lights and
light up together with the message
on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided) (see section “Warning
lights and messages”) this indicates a fault in the EBD system.
In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
WARNING
If the warning light comes on
together with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display, 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.
