Aquaplaning
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.
Parking
Warning!
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
arid apply brakes cautiously in the rain.
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
"Z"-rated tires.
Tire Traction
1.
2.
Keep foot on brake pedal.
Firmly depress parking
brake pedal.
Engage first or reverse
gear (selector lever position "P"
in the case of automatic
transmissions).
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
prevailingconditions.
3.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road as soon as the
prevailing temperatures fall close to the
freezing point.
Warning!
4.
5.
Slowly release brake pedal.
Turn front wheels towards
the road curb,
Turn the key to steering
lock position 0 and remove.
Even when permitted by law, never
operate a vehicle at speeds greater
than the maximum speed rating of
the tires.
6.
Warning!
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!
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, engage first or
reverse gear (selector lever position
"P").
We recommend M + S radial-ply tires
for the winter season for all four
wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics.
When parking on hills, always set the
parking brake.
