equipped with ABS or ESC may
be longer than for those without
these systems in the following
road conditions under which
you must drive your vehicle at
reduced speeds:

face is pitted or has different
surface height.
Tire chains are installed on
your vehicle.

or ESC equipped vehicle should
not be tested by high speed
