WARNING
A new tire and brake pad having not
undergone running-in do not have the best
adhesion and friction characteristics.
• The new tire does not yet have the best
adhesion, so you must drive carefully
within the first 500km to avoid
accidents!
• The new brake pad within the first 200 to
300km driving distance does not have
the best friction characteristics, and the
braking effect is slightly reduced, so it
must undergo running-in. The braking
effect can be compensated by
increasing the force applied on the
brake pedal. The new brake pad must
also undergo running-in.
• When driving, do not get too close to
other cars or bring the car to a situation
where emergency braking is necessary.
Being especially careful when driving
with a new tire and new brake pad
having not undergone running-in for
fear of accidents.
WARNING
When the brake is wet or icy or when the car
is running on a salted road, the brake may
lag, resulting in a longer braking distance.
Therefore, be careful to prevent accidents.
• A longer braking distance or a fault in
the braking system will increase the
accident rate.
• Lightly depress the brake pedal to check
the brake.
• Lightly depress the brake pedal to dry
the brake or remove ice or anti-skid salt
from the brake.
WARNING
Overheating the brake will reduce the
braking effect and increase the braking
distance!
• Take care to avoid overheating the
brake.
• When driving downhill, the brake load
increases and the brake is easily
overheated.
• It is recommended to engage a low gear
(manual mode) before driving down
along a long and steep slope to reduce
the car speed, make full use of the
engine braking effect, and reduce the
brake load.
• Do not continuously depress the brake
pedal. This will make the brake overheat
and increase the braking distance.
Brake intermittently according to road
and traffic conditions.
