85AT A GLANCE REFERENCE MOBILITY CONTROLS DRIVING TIPS COMMUNICATIONSHydroplaningWhen driving on wet or slushy roads, reduce road speed. If you do not, a wedge of water can form between tires and road sur-face. This situation, known as hydroplaning, can cause partial or complete loss of tire contact with the road surface, so that the car cannot be steered or braked properly. <The risk of hydroplaning increases with declining tread depth on the tires, refer also to Tread depth on page114.Driving through waterDrive through water on the road only if it is not deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, and then only at walking speed at the most. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electrical systems and the transmission may be damaged. <Parking brake on inclinesOn inclines, do not hold the vehicle with the clutch; use the parking brake. Other-wise, greater clutch wear will result. <For information on driving off using Hill Assist, refer to page57.Braking safelyYour MINI is equipped with ABS. If you are in a situation which requires full braking, it is best to brake using maximum brake pressure. Since the vehicle maintains steering responsiveness, you can still avoid possible obstacles with a mini-mum of steering effort.The pulsation of the brake pedal, together with the sound of hydraulic regulation, indicates that ABS is functioning properly.Objects in the movement range of the pedalsKeep floor mats, carpet, and other objects out of the movement range of the pedals; otherwise, they may inhibit the function of the pedals during driving.Do not place additional floor mats onto an exist-ing one or onto other objects.Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be appropriately fastened.Make sure that the floor mats are securely fas-tened again after they have been removed, e.g. for cleaning.<Driving in wet conditionsWhen roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure that this maneuver does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the pads and rotors to ensure that Then full braking force will be immediately avail-able when it is needed.HillsTo prevent overheating and the resulting reduced efficiency of the brake system, drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Even light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and possibly even brake failure. <You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, all the way to first gear if neces-sary. This strategy helps you avoid placing excessive loads on the brake system. Downshift-ing in manual mode of the automatic transmis-sion, page41.Never drive with the clutch held down, with the transmission in neutral or with the engine switched off; otherwise, engine brak-ing action will not be present or there will be no power assistance to the brakes or steering. Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other objects to protrude into the area around the pedals; otherwise, pedal function could be impaired.<Corrosion on brake rotorsWhen the vehicle is driven only occasionally, during extended periods when the vehicle is not used at all, and in operating conditions where brake applications are less frequent, there is an increased tendency for corrosion to form on rotors, while contaminants accumulate on the
