2888362 - H02 DRIFT WHILST BRAKING

During braking, the car pulls to the right or left.If necessary, carry out a test on a straight, flat road with no cambers to check how much the car veers to one side.
Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Preliminarily, check the type, condition and inflation pressure of the tyresCheck that the wheels are correctly fixedContinue to Step 1Tyre inflation pressure not correctRestore the tyre inflation pressures
