STEERING
The steering gear is hydraulically assisted. As excessive pressure may damage the
hydraulic pump, stop turning the steering wheel when the wheels are at full lock or
are blocked by an obstacle. The steering gear may be damaged, if this is ignored.
ABS BRAKES
The ABS system is an Anti-lock Braking System.
The ABS ensures good brake stability and good steering in a critical braking
situation.
By preventing the wheels from locking, the steering characteristics of the vehicle are
retained.
Bear in mind that when the prime mover is equipped with ABS but not the drawn
vehicle, or vice versa, the directional stability and steering characteristics will not be
as good as when both units are equipped with ABS.
WARNING
The ABS does not release the driver from his obligation to adapt his
driving style to the traffic and road surface conditions.
The anti-lock protection cannot offset the results of driving too
close to the vehicle in front or taking a bend at too high a speed.
