SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates
slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that
the car speed should be altered to suit the type
of road surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel
the brake pedal pulsating, do not
remove your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS system is activated, this
indicates that the traction of the tires
on the road is nearing its limit. You must
slow down to a speed compatible with the
available wheel traction.MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated,
recognises emergency braking conditions
(according to the brake pedal operation speed)
and provides an additional hydraulic braking
pressure to support that provided by the driver.
This allows faster and more powerful operation of
the braking system.
WARNING
When the Mechanical Brake Assist is
activated, noises may be heard from
the system. This is normal. Anyway, while
braking keep the brake pedal depressed.
