NOTICE
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 22 km/h
(13 mph) on curves.
• The VSM is designed to function
above approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph) when a vehicle is braking
on a split-mu road. The split-mu
road is made of surfaces which
have different friction forces.
WARNING
• The Vehicle Stability
Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. Always hold the steer-
ing wheel firmly whilst driv-
ing.
• Your vehicle is designed to
activate according to the dri-
ver’s intention, even with the
VSM installed. Always follow
all the normal precautions for
driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving
in inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
• Driving with varying tyre or
wheel sizes may cause the
VSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tyres, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tyres.
