STARTING AND DRIVING
292
Avoid high speeds on wet roads. The anti–lock brake
system cannot eliminate the risk of hydroplaning and loss
of tire friction.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. Compared with vehicles not fitted with an anti–lock
brake system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping
distance in the following cases:
Driving on rough, gravel or snow–covered roads.
Driving with tire chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has
other differences in surface height.
