conditions it does not shorten braking
distances but assists in maintain full steering
and directional stability.
• It remains the driver’s responsibility to drive
safely according to prevailing conditions.
• The fact that a vehicle is fitted with ABS
must never allow the driver to be tempted
into taking risks which could affect his/her
safety or that of other road users.
• The addition of ABS cannot overcome the
consequences of trying to stop in too short a
distance, cornering at high speed, or the risk
of aquaplaning.
• The driver should always take road
conditions into account. A slippery road
surface always requires more braking

possible increase in stopping distance
compared even to locked wheels may occur
during ABS operation on slushy snow, gravel,

LTI VEHICLES AND DGB STERLING LIMITED DINITROL® 6-YEAR ANTI-CORROSION PROGRAMME
During the manufacture of your vehicle it was protected against inside-to-outside corrosion using DINITROL® anti-corrosion materials provided by
DGB Sterling Limited.
Following the initial registration of your vehicle, information was passed to DGB Sterling Limited for them to register your details for the 6-year
Anti-Corrosion programme for your vehicle. Full compliance with this programme enables DGB Sterling Limited to guarantee your vehicle against
inside-to-outside corrosion for a period of six years from the date of first registration.
Within approximately six weeks from the date of first registration of your vehicle you should receive from DGB Sterling Limited a guarantee booklet
which will explain in more detail the full terms and conditions of this 6 year anti-corrosion programme. If you do not receive this information, please
contact your supplying Dealer without delay so that this can be corrected.
For the 6-year Anti-Corrosion programme to remain valid, body service retreatments must be carried out at 1, 3 and 5 years from the date of
registration of the vehicle. These have to take place at an LTI Vehicles and DGB Sterling Limited approved retreatment centre who will then affix the
DINITROL® guarantee treatment validation stamp to the guarantee booklet. As part of the DGB Sterling Limited service package, before the first
body service is due, they will send you a reminder to have the anti- corrosion retreatment carried out.
In line with all other routine servicing, the body service retreatment will be charged for, but we are certain that you appreciate that this will add to the
value of the warranty package that accompanies all LTI Vehicles.
May we also remind you that if any parts of the bodywork covered by the guarantee are replaced or repaired following accident damage, these parts
must be treated at the time of repair using DINITROL® anti-corrosion materials for the guarantee to remain valid.
This guarantee is in addition to and does not in any way affect or limit the statutory rights of the owner of the vehicle.
