using an infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt positioned correctly for

(7)
No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome
careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice
and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer
flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior
to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions.
Always wear your seat belt.
