together with the message
(where provided) on the reconfigurable multifunction
display (see the “Warning lights” chapter).
In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might
lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive
extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
WARNING
If brake fluid low warning light
x
lights up on the instrument panel (together, where
provided, with the message on the reconfigurable 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.
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, 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 conditions.
