When driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce
your speed to prevent hydroplaning.◀
Driving through water
Drive though calm water only if it is not deeper
than 9.8 inches/25 cm and at this height, no
faster than walking speed, up to 6 mph/10 km/h.
Adhere to water depth and speed limita‐
tions
Do not exceed this water depth and walking
speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec‐
trical systems and the transmission may be
damaged.◀

flective coating.
Use this area for garage door openers, devices
for electronic toll collection, etc.
Braking safely
Climate control laminated tinted safety
glass
Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard
feature.
The vehicle glass provides full protection

Applying the brakes fully is the most effective
way of braking in situations when this is neces‐
sary.
The vehicle maintains steering responsiveness.
You can still avoid any obstacles with a minimum
of steering effort.
Mobile communication devices in the
vehicle
Mobile communication devices in the ve‐
hicle
Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from
the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its
active mode.
It is advised that you do not use mobile commu‐
nication devices, e.g., mobile phones, inside the
vehicle without connecting them directly to the
external antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle elec‐
tronics and mobile communication devices can
interfere with each other. In addition, there is no
assurance that the radiation generated during
transmission will be discharged from the vehicle
interior.◀
Driving in wet conditions
When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly
exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every
few miles.
Ensure that this action does not endanger other
road users.
The heat generated in this process helps dry the
brake discs and pads.
Hydroplaning
In this way braking efficiency will be available
when you need it.
On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can
form between the tires and road surface.
This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐
ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete
loss of contact between the tires and the road
surface, ultimately undermining your ability to
steer and brake the vehicle.

the brake system may overheat, resulting in a
reduction in the brake system efficiency.
