Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking.
●
Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
u
stability.
Where possible, reduce speed before
u
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces
u
and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
Repeated braking, such as when
u
descending long, steep slopes can seriously
overheat the brakes, reducing their
effectiveness.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
●
front and rear brakes together.
