WARNING
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent
accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving manoeuvre.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control) may be longer
than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds:
• Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
• With tyre chains installed.
