BRAKE ASSIST (Brake assist in

an emergency)

This system, that cannot be cut out, rec-

ognizes emergency braking on the

ground of the brake pedal operation

speed and allows to speed up the braking

action.

On versions fitted with VDC system,

Brake Assist is deactivated in the event of

VDC system failure (indicated by the

switching on of the relevant warning

light).

The turning on of the

warning light with the

engine running normally indicates

an ABS system fault. In this case

the braking system preserves its

effectiveness, without however

making use of the antilock device.

Under these circumstances, the EBD

system may fail to give top perfor-

mance. In this case, too, you are

recommended to contact Author-

ized Alfa Romeo Services immedi-

ately driving in such a way as to

avoid abrupt braking, to have the

system checked.

WARNING

If the

low brake fluid

level warning light comes

on, stop the car immediately and

contact the nearest Authorized Al-

fa Romeo Services. Indeed, any

leak of fluid from the hydraulic

system compromises the effective-

ness of both the conventional

brake system and the system with

antilock system.
