checked.
If only the failure warning light illuminates
when the engine is running, it normally
indicates a malfunction of the ABS system
only. In this case, the braking system
maintains its efficiency, but the anti-locking
device cannot be used.
In these conditions the EBD system
may also function less efficiently. Also in
this case, immediately go to the nearest
Authorized Ferrari Dealer to have the
system checked, driving in such a way as to
avoid sudden braking.
If the brake fluid warning light illuminates,
immediately stop the vehicle and check the
brake fluid level (see page 120 ): if the level
is below the minimum level, top up with
the specified fluid and immediately contact
your Authorized Ferrari Dealer to have
the system checked.
In fact, any fluid leaks from the hydraulic
system will jeopardize functioning of both
the conventional and the ABS braking
systems.
The system’s performance, in terms of
active safety, must not allow the driver to
take unnecessary and unjustified risks.
The driving style must always be suited to
weather conditions, range of visibility and
road traffic conditions.
The maximum deceleration obtainable is
however always dependent on the tire grip
on the road. Obviously, if there is snow or
ice on the road, the grip is greatly reduced
and therefore, in these conditions the
braking distance is greater, even with the
ABS system active.
