WARNING
The risk of skidding and having an accident increases due to mal-
functioning driving safety systems.

ted. The wheels could therefore lock up if you brake hard,
for example.
This will greatly impair the ability to steer and brake. The brak-
ing distance may increase in emergency braking situations.

traffic conditions.
