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.
WARNING
If brake fluid low warning
light xlights up on the in-
strument panel (together, where pro-
vided, with the message on the re-
configurable multifunction display),
stop immediately the car and contact
the closest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks
from the hydraulic system, in fact, can
compromise the braking system, both
traditional systems and systems with
ABS.
WARNING
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuos diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light Uon the instrument panel
(together, where provided, with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction
display - see the “Warning lights” chapter)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒to warn when a fault causes emission
levels to increase;
❒to warn of the need to replace dete-
riorated components.The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.
If turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if, while
travelling, it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing, (on some versions
together with the message on the re-
configurable multifunction display),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible. The operation of warning light
Ucan be checked by the traffic po-
lice. Attain to the rules enforced in the
country where the car is being used.
