The vehicle is equipped
with an Electronic Brake
force Distributor (EBD). The
warning light
illuminates when
the engine is running to indicate
an EBD system malfunction: in this
case, sharp braking may cause an
early locking of the rear wheels, and
the vehicle may skid. Drive with the
greatest care and have the system
immediately checked by the nearest
Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
The failure warning light
usually illuminates
with the engine running to
indicate a malfunction in the ABS
system only. In this case, the braking
system will remain fully functioning,
but will not use the ABS. In these
conditions, also the EBD system
effi ciency may be affected. Drive
with the greatest care in order to
avoid sudden braking and have the
system immediately checked by the
nearest Centre of the Maserati Service
Network.
If the low brake fl uid
warning light
illuminates
when the engine is running,
stop the vehicle and check the brake
fl uid level immediately. If fl uid is
below the minimum level, top up
with the recommended fl uid and
contact the Maserati Service Network
immediately. Brake fl uid leaks affect
the operation of the braking systems,
both the standard one and the one
equipped with ABS.
The system performance in
terms of active safety is not
a reason for the driver to run
unnecessary risks. The driving style
shall always be suited to weather
conditions, range of visibility and
traffi c.
The maximum deceleration
that can be obtained always
depends on the tyre grip on
the road surface. With snow or ice on
the road the grip is obviously reduced
and the braking distance is very high,
even with the ABS system.
