On a snow-covered or frozen road ●When driving on a snow-covered or frozen road, it is rec-
ommended that you use snow tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections.
●Avoid high-speed operation, sudden acceleration, abrupt
brake application and sharp cornering.
●Depressing the brake pedal during travel on snowy or icy
roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. When trac-
tion between the tyres and the road is reduced the wheels
may skid and the vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking techniques. Braking will dif-
fer, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brakes
(ABS). As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes
(ABS), brake by pressing the brake pedal hard, and keep-
ing it pressed.
●Allow extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
On bumpy or rutted roadDrive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy or rutted
roads.
CAUTION
!●The impact on tyres and/or wheels driving on a
bumpy or rutted road can damage the tyre and /or
wheel.
