Safe Convoy & Radar Check:
• Safe Convoy:
1. Keep distance about 2 second between car 2. Speed range: 120-160 km/h (need more speed for
Doha-Thaif/Makkah)3. Maintain your fuel no less than ¼ of tank capacity4. Give the sign for any problem by flashing your light & send
sms/call using mobile phone/HT (refueling, rest room, etc)5. Maintain diagonal formation 2-3-2-3 (lane no) between Riyadh-
Thaif/Makkah and Makkah/Jeddah-Madinah6. Keep an eye on Radar Sign, Police Patrol & Bridge. The first car
will give the sign by pressing Break Pedal & turn the hazard sign on while entering Radar Range Area (Max Radar Coverage: 300 m in clear weather)
ABS Break: Not to shorten breaking distance, but to allow driver controlling vehicle during emergency breaking/stop
Safe Convoy & Radar Check:
• Average Breaking Distance: ABS, Good Condition Car & Road, Dry Road
1. Speed: 80 km/h : 36 m2. Speed 120 km/h: 196 m3. Speed 140 km/h: ?
We can’t improve road condition, neither car condition. The only one we can control to safe our live is the way we drive
• Adjust load & speed based on information shown on tire & set to the minimum one

Temperature ResistanceTemperature Resistance
Symbol Area
A Hot Area
B Normal Weather Area
C Cold Area
These letters indicates a tire's resistance to heat. From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C".
Treadwear NumberTreadwear Number
This number indicates the tire's wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.
TractionTraction
This letter indicates a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA","A", "B", and "C".
Max. Load Capacity & tire Speed SymbolMax. Load Capacity & tire Speed Symbol
Number indicates the max. load that can be carried by the tire. Symbol indicates the max. Speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time.
