Notes on driving on wet and slippery
roads
Once there is water on the road, hydro-
planing may occur. In case of heavy rain or
other weathers that may result in hydro-
planing, observe the following precautions:
● Reduce the speed
● Avoid tyre tracks
● Avoid sudden steering movements
● Brake gently
Notes on braking on salt-treated roads
The braking effete is limited on salt-
treated roads:
● When driving on salt-treated roads, a
layer of salt may form on the brake
discs and pads. This increases the brak-
ing distance or results in only one side
of brake functioning normally.
Maintain a greater safe distance to the ve-
hicle in front.
Prevent salt build-up:
● Apply the brake frequently and pay at-
tention to the traffic conditions.
