Vehicles may be out of control when
they skid side. Cautious drivers can
take appropriate measures according
to the existing driving conditions and
avoid overspend driving according to
driving conditions, thus avoiding
most side skids. However, side skid
may occur anytime.
There are three side skids that
corresponds
with three control
systems.
1. Wheels do not rotate in case of
side skid due to brake. Your vehicle
is equipped with ABS system which
can help you avoid side skid due to
brake.
2. Side skid due to turning means
that tyres moves with turning force
lost as a result of too fast vehicle
speed or excessive turning on curve
road. Releasing acceleration pedal is

the best way to deal with side skid
due to turning.
3. Side skid due to acceleration
refers to driving wheel sliding as a
result of excessive opening of
throttle valve.
Note
◇ Any traction force control
system can only help avoid side
skid due to acceleration. If the
traction force control system is
in closed status, the best way to
deal with side skid due to
acceleration is releasing accele
-ration pedal.
◇ If the road is covered with
water, snow, ice, sand stone or
other objects, the traction force
may reduce. For the sake of
safety, reduce vehicle speed and
adjust driving method according
to these road conditions. Since
driving on wet road can lengthen
the brake distance, and vehicle
control is also limited, it is very
important to slowing down spe
-ed.
◇ When driving on a road with
reduced traction force, try to
avoid sudden turning, accelera
-tion or brake, including engine
brake through gear shift.
