Disc brakes

Wet brake discs increase the braking distance. After leaving a car wash, gently press the brake pedal while driving to remove the water film from the discs.

The ABS helps you maintain full steering control and directional stability during hard braking in emergency situations by preventing the driven wheels from locking.
