Alfa Romeo 147 Benutzeranleitung

IMPORTANT Cars fitted with ABS may

only be fitted with the wheel rims, tyres and
brake linings of type and brand approved by
the Manufacturer.

The system is completed by the EBD (Elec-

tronic Brake Distributor) which distributes the
braking action through the control unit and the
ABS system sensors.

IMPORTANT If the battery is run down

the

> and x warning lights might turn on

when starting the engine and go off after
starting. This should not be considered as
a fault but as a warning that during start-
ing the ABS is not active. The turning off
of the warning lights ensures normal system
operation.

If the compact spare wheel
is used, operation of the

ABS system is cut off and the

>

warning light on the instrument
cluster turns on.

The car is fitted with an
electronic braking distribu-

tor (EBD). If the

> and x warn-

ing lights turn on simultaneously
with the engine running, this indi-
cates an EBD system failuure; in this
case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with
the possibility of skidding. Driving
extremely carefully, go to the near-
est Alfa Romeo Authorised Service
to have the ssystem checked.

The turning on of only the

> warning light with the

engine running normally indicates
a fault to the ABS system only. In
this casee the braking system is still
efficient, though without the aid
of the anti-lock device. Under
these conditions performance of
the EBD system may be reduced.
In this case too, you are advised
to go imm

mediately to the nearest

Alfa Romeo Authorised Service to
have the system checked over, dri-
ving in such a way as to avoid
sharp braking.

If the low brake fluid level
x warning light turns on,

stop the car immediately and con-
tact the nearest Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Seervice. Any loss of fluid
from the hydraulic system will neg-
atively affect the operation of the
braaking system be it of the conven-
tional type or of the type with ABS.
