Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure are important for proper handling. Therefore check that
the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load.
It is recommended to use tires of the same make and dimensions on all four wheels.
CAUTION!
Do not mix radial ply and bias ply tires as this will adversely alter the vehicle handling
characteristics.
If the brake power assist does not function
The power assist to the brakes functions only when the engine is running. When coasting or towing
the brake pedal pressure must be increased 3-4 times.
The brake pedal feels stiff and hard.
Moisture on brake discs and brake pads affects braking.
Rain and slush as well as normal car wash will moisten the brake components. This may affect the
friction of the brake pads and a delay in braking effectiveness will be noticed.
When driving in slush or rain, depress the brake pedal now and then in order to heat the brake linings
and remove the moisture. This should also be done immediately after washing or starting in very damp
weather.
Driving with trunk lid open
Exhaust gases can be sucked into the car. This is especially true for the model 245 (Wagon). Normally
this involves no hazard to the passengers, but the following advice should be followed as a safety
precautions.
