Using ABS
(if equipped)

In an emergency or when

maximum efficiency from the ABS

is required, apply continuous full

force on the brake. The ABS will be

activated immediately, thus

allowing you to retain full steering

control of your vehicle and,

providing there is sufficient space,

will enable you to avoid obstacles

and bring the vehicle to a

controlled stop.

The AntiĆLock system does not

decrease the time necessary to

apply the brakes or always reduce

stopping distance. Always leave

enough room between your vehicle

and the vehicle in front of you to

stop.

We recommend that you

familiarize yourself with this

braking technique. However, avoid

any unnecessary risks.
