Caution: use tires of the same size, design and load capacity as the original tires of the vehicle, as the use of tires of a different type may interfere with the normal operation of the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
1. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) It is designed to automatically prevent the wheels from locking during heavy braking or braking on slippery surfaces and ensures stable vehicle handling.
2. When driving a car, please observe the following precautions:
- A) The action of the ABS system may be felt as a slight vibration on the brake pedal. Don't rock the brake pedal to stop, just push it harder. Swinging the brake pedal will increase the braking distance.
- b) Braking performance depends on the adhesion of the tires to the road surface. On slippery road surfaces, even when the ABS system is operating, the driver may not always be able to control the vehicle at high speeds or when performing maneuvers.
- V) Always keep a clear distance from the vehicle in front. Compared to vehicles without ABS, your vehicle will have longer braking distances in the following situations:
- When driving on bumpy, gravel or snow-covered roads.
- When driving on roads with potholes or other differences in road surface height.
3. ABS indicator.
- A) When the ignition is switched on, the ABS indicator lights up in the instrument cluster for a few seconds. If there is a malfunction in the ABS system, the indicator lights up constantly.
- b) If a malfunction is detected in the system for redistributing brake forces to the rear axle (DRP) the buzzer will sound for ten seconds and the ABS indicator and the parking brake status indicator will illuminate simultaneously in the instrument cluster. The indicators and buzzer will turn on for 10 seconds each time the ignition is turned on until the problem is corrected.
