With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal ad-
justment.

If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership.

NOTE When measuring the distance be-
tween the brake pedal and floor wall, be
sure not to include the floor mat or rub-
ber on the floor wall in your measure-
ment.

BRAKE PEDAL

Check if the brake pedal stops at the reg-
ular height without “spongy” feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake sys-
tem inspected by your Fiat Dealership. If
you doubt the brake pedal for the regu-
lar height, check it as follows:

Pedal to wall minimum distance
“a”: 40 mm (1.6 in.)
