accidents due to improper or
dangerous driving maneuvers.
Even though vehicle control is
improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for vehicle
equipped with an anti-lock brak-
ing system (or Electronic
Stability Control System) may
be longer than for those without
it in the following road condi-
tions.
During these conditions the
vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds:
• Rough, gravel or snow-cov-
ered roads.
• With tire chains installed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• On roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has different
surface height.
The safety features of an ABS
(or ESC) equipped vehicle
should not be tested by high
speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
