The vehicle is equipped
with an Electronic Brake
force Distributor (EBD). The
warning light illuminates when
the engine is running to indicate
an EBD system malfunction: in this
case, sharp braking may cause an
early locking of the rear wheels, and
the vehicle may skid. Drive with the
greatest care and have the system
immediately checked by the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
The failure warning light
usually illuminates
with the engine running to
indicate a malfunction in the ABS
system only. In this case, the braking
system will remain fully functioning,
but will not use the ABS. In these
conditions, also the EBD system
efficiency may be affected. Drive with
the greatest care in order to avoid
sudden braking and have the system
immediately checked by the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
If the low brake fluid
warning light
illuminates when the engine
is running, stop the vehicle and check
the brake fluid level immediately. If
fluid is below the minimum level, top
up with the recommended fluid and
contact your Authorized Maserati
Dealer immediately. Brake fluid leaks
affect the operation of the braking
systems, both the standard one and
the one equipped with ABS.
System performance in terms
of active safety is not a
reason for the driver to take
unnecessary risks. The driving style
must always be suited to weather
conditions, range of visibility and
road traffic conditions.
The maximum deceleration
that can be obtained always
depends on the tire grip on
the road surface. With snow or ice,
the grip is obviously reduced and the
braking distance is greater, even with
the ABS system.
