Operation
Driving tips
When ice forms on the road (due to freezing
fog, for instance), applying the brakes can
cause a thin layer of water to form rapidly on
the surface of the ice, and tyre grip will be
greatly reduced. Drive with particular care in
such weather conditions.
Driving in wet conditions
If there is a certain level of water on the
road surface, the vehicle may aquaplane,
even though:
you are driving at low speeds
the tyre tread depth is sufficient
For this reason, do not drive in tyre ruts
and brake carefully.

Driving on flooded roads
If you have to drive through water that has
accumulated on the road, make sure that:
the depth of the water is no greater
than 60 cm when it is calm
you drive no faster than walking pace
!
Bear in mind that vehicles travelling in front
or in the opposite direction create waves.
This may cause the maximum permissible water
depth to be exceeded.

erwise damage may be caused to the:
