DRIVING THE VEHICLE
35
CAUTION: If the warning light comes
on whilst driving, consult your LTI
Dealer immediately who will arrange
to have it checked out.
WARNING
• Whilst ABS optimises tyre/road
adhesion under maximum braking
conditions it does not shorten braking
distances but assists in maintain full steering
and directional stability.
• It remains the driver’s responsibility to drive
safely according to prevailing conditions.
• The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABS
must never allow the driver to be tempted
into taking risks which could affect his/her
safety or that of other road users.
• The addition of ABS cannot overcome the
consequences of trying to stop in too short a
distance, cornering at high speed, or the risk
of aquaplaning.
• The driver should always take road
conditions into account. A slippery road
surface always requires more braking
distance for a given speed, even with ABS. A
possible increase in stopping distance
compared even to locked wheels may occur
during ABS operation on slushy snow, gravel,
sand, heavy road markings, some heavily
corrugated or ridged road surfaces or
specially constructed noise generating
warning road surfaces.
