Limited braking effect on salt-treatedroads:
RDuetosalt build-up onthe brake discs andbrakepads,the braking distance can increaseconsiderably orresult in braking only on oneside
RMaintain a much greater safe distancetothevehicle in front
Toprevent salt build-up:
RBrake occasionally while paying attentiontothe traffic conditions
RCarefully depressthe brake pedal atthe endofthe journey and whenstartingthe nextjourney
