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. 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 compared with
summer tires. Stopping distance,
however, is still considerably greater
than when the road is wet or dry.
Tire Traction
1. Keep 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.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road as soon as the
prevailing temperatures fall close to the
freezing point.
3. Engage first or reverse
gear (selector lever position “P”
in the case of automatic
transmissions).
4. Slowly release brake pedal.
5.
Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
Warning!
6.
If ice has formed on the road, tire
traction will be substantially
reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
Important!
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the
vehicle. In addition, engage first or
reverse gear (selector lever position
“P”).
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
