Aquaplaning
We recommend M + S radial -ply tires
for the winter season for all four
wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics.
Parking
Depending on the depth of the water
layer on the road, aquaplaning may
occur, even at low speeds and with new
tires. Reduce vehicle speed, avoid track
grooves in the road and apply brakes
cautiously in the rain.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
as a result of vehicle movement,
before turning off the engine and
leaving the vehicle always:
On packed snow, they can reduce your
stopping distance as com pared with
summer tires. Stopping distance,
however, is still considerably greater
than when the road is wet or dry.
Tire Traction
1. Keep right foot on brake pedal.
2.
Firmly depress parking
brake pedal.
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered
or icy road is always lower than on a dry
road.
3. Move the selector lever to
position "P".
4.
Slowly release brake pedal.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road whenever as the
outside temperatures are close to the
freezing point.
5. Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
6. Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
Warning!
Important!
If ice has formed on the road, fire
traction will be substantially reduced.
Under such weather conditions, drive,
steer and brake with extreme caution.
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the
vehicle. In addition, move selector
lever to position "P".
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
