Limited braking effect on salt-treated roads:
due to salt build-up on the brake disks and
R
brakepads, the braking distance can increase
considerably or result in braking only on one
side
maintain a much greater safe distance to the
R
vehicle in front
To prevent salt build-up:
brake occasionally while paying attention to
R
the traffic conditions
carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
R
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
