Aquaplaning
Depending on the depth of the
water layer on the road, aqua­
planing may occur, even at low
speeds and with new tires.
Reduce vehicle speed, avoid track
grooves in the road and apply
brakes cautiously in the rain.
Tire Traction
The safe speed on a wet, snow
covered or icy road is always
lower than on a dry road.
You should pay particular attention
to the condition of the road when­
ever as the outside temperatures
are close to the freezing point.
We recommend M + S radial-ply
tires for the winter season for all
four wheels to insure normal bal­
anced handling characteristics.
On packed snow, they can reduce
your stopping distance as com­
pared with summer tires. Stop­
ping distance, however, is still
considerably greater than when
the road is wet or dry.
Warning!
If ice has formed on the road,
tire traction will be substan­
tially reduced. Under such
weather conditions, drive,
steer and brake with extreme
caution.
Parking
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal
injury as a result of vehicle
movement, before turning off
the engine and leaving the
vehicle always:
1. Keep right foot on brake
pedal.
2. Firmly depress parking
brake pedal.
3. Move the selector lever to
position ”P”.
4. Slowly release brake pedal.
5. Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
6. Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
Important!
It is advisable to set the parking
brake whenever parking or leaving
the vehicle. In addition, move
selector lever to position ” P” .
When parking on hills, always set
the parking brake.
