acceleration.● Avoid hard braking.● Ride conservatively.

BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking.

u Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle'sstability.

u Where possible, reduce speed beforeturning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.u The tyres slip more easily on such

surfaces and braking distances arelonger.

● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.

# Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) on FrontWheel

ADV150AThis model equipped with an Anti-lock BrakeSystem (ABS) designed to help prevent the frontbrake from locking up during hard braking.● There is no ABS function to the rear wheel.● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In

certain circumstances, ABS may result in alonger stopping distance.

● ABS does not function at speeds below10 km/h (6 mph).

● The front brake lever may recoil slightlywhen applying the brakes. This is normal.

● Always use the recommended front/reartyres to ensure correct ABS operation.

# Combi BrakeADV150Your vehicle is equipped with a brake systemthat distributes the braking force between thefront and rear brakes.The distribution of the braking force applied tothe front and rear brakes when operating thefront brake lever only and when operating therear brake lever only is different.For full braking effectiveness, operate both thefront and rear brakes together.

pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel

with mild cleaner to remove road grime.u Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,

panels, and other plastic componentswith extra care to avoid scratching them.Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,muffler, and electrical parts.

3. Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty ofclean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

4. After the vehicle dries, lubricate any movingparts.u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto

the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,drum or shoes contaminated with oil willsuffer greatly reduced brakingeffectiveness and can lead to a crash.

5. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.u Avoid products that contain harsh

detergents or chemical solvents. Thesecan damage the metal, paint, and plasticon your vehicle.Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.

u If your vehicle has any mat painted parts,do not apply a coat of wax to the matpainted surface.
