Hints fo r D riving

steering action.
W hen the vehicle is in danger of

under control by means of corrective
steering action.
Provided the tra ffic c o n d ition s will
allow, only brake in a way that the
wheels are locked fo r no m ore than
fra ctio n s of a second as otherw ise the
steerability of the vehicle is lost.
High Altitude Correction Device

Tire Chains
Tire chains can only be used on the

of driving. Do not exceed perm issible
maximum speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
On clear roads rem ove the chains as
