  2. Reach a speed of 24 km/h (14.9 mph).
    WARNING: Apply maximum brake force only on dry concrete or equivalent hard surface, never on wet pavement or gravel. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
  3. Grasp the shoulder harness, lean forward and apply the brakes, making a maximum braking application without a skid.
