Aquaplaning
your stopping distance as compared
with summer tires. Stopping distance,
however, is still considerably greater
than when the road is wet or dry,
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:
Tire Speed Rating
Your vehicle is factory equipped with
"H"-rated tires, which have a European
speed rating of 130mph (210km/h).
Tire Traction
1.
Keep right foot on brake
pedal.
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered
or icy road is always lower than on a
dry road.
Despite the tire rating, local speed
limits should be obeyed. Use prudent
driving speeds appropriate to
prevailing conditions.
2. Firmly depress parking
brake pedal.
Move the selector lever to
position "P".
Slowly release brake pedal.
Turn front wheels towards
the road curb.
Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
3.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road whenever the
outside temperatures are close to the
freezing point.
4.
5.
Warning!
Even when permitted by law, never
operate a vehicle at speeds greater
than the maximum speed rating of
the tires.
6.
Warning!
.
Important!
If ice has formed on the road, tire
traction will be substantially
reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
Exceeding the maximum speed for
which tires are rated can lead to
sudden tire failure causing loss of
vehicle control and resulting in
personal injury and possible death.
It is advisable to set the parking brake
whenever parking or leaving the
vehicle. In addition, move selector
lever to position "P".
We recommend M + S radial-ply tires
for the winter season for all four wheels
to insure normal balanced handling
characteristics. On packed snow, they
can reduce
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
