FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is indicated by the
>
warning light
on the instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the multifunction
display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) coming on (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).
In this case, the braking system will still be
effective, although without the extra ca-
pacity offered by the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic system controlling car
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, help-
ing to maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when road surface grip changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjusting
the engine braking torque) and the HBA
system (improving the braking force during
emergency braking) are also provided (for
versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the flashing 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.
EBD failure
This is indicated by the
>
and
x
warn-
ing lights on the instrument panel together
with the dedicated message on the multi-
function display (for versions/markets
where provided) coming on (see “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply. Drive carefully to the
nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If only the
x
warning light
on the instrument panel
lights up (together with a message in
the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets where provided) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system will
compromise the operation of the
braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.
