Reversing warning
ABS prevents the wheels from locking
when the brakes are applied. The vehicle
thus remains steerable.
It is operational from walking pace, regard-
less of road surface conditions.

During the winter, the best perform-
ance is only attained from the driving
safety systems in conjunction with
M+S tyres (winter tyres).
Risk of accident
G
The risk of an accident is higher:
at high speeds, especially when corner-
ing
on wet or slippery road surfaces
if a safe distance is not kept from the ve-
hicle in front
