travel for approx. 30 km
(20 minutes) on a mixed
road or approx. 15 km (10 min-
utes) on a highway until the soft-
ware of the ABS/ASR control unit
recognises the size of the "normal"

Therefore it is recommended to

where possible, sharp braking. On
cars fitted with ASR travel for the
above mentioned distance with
the ASR turned off through the
suitable button.
