Road testing: Notes
- Certain malfunctions will only be detected when the car is moving, so the system can be checked by performing a road test. Maintain a speed above 60 km/h for a period of 30 seconds. After ensuring that it is safe to do so, apply brakes hard enough to activate ABS-controlled braking (this can be felt from the pulsation at the brake pedal).
WARNING:
If you drive the vehicle after a malfunction has been detected by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD), bear in mind that the function of the brake system is restricted. If a malfunction has been detected by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD), there is a risk of accident, since the brake pressure at the rear wheels is no longer controlled by the electronic brake force distribution function. This can result in excessive braking at the rear, and the tail of the vehicle may break loose unexpectedly.
If test and measuring instruments are required during a test drive, these must always be secured to the rear seat and operated by a second person from this position. If test and measuring instruments are operated from the front passenger's seat and the vehicle is involved in an accident, the occupant of the seat could be seriously injured if the airbag is triggered.
