Skid control
Depress the clutch and release the
accelerator pedal. Countersteer care-
fully and attempt to regain control over
the vehicle.
Parking
Engage first or reverse gear. Depending
on the steepness of the incline, you can
apply the parking brake as well. In order
to prevent the parking brake pads from
locking due to frost or corrosion, dry
them by gently applying the parking
brake as the vehicle is coming to a
stop. Make sure that following traffic is
not endangered.
The brake lamps do not come
on when the parking brake is
engaged.

If there is a change in steering response

If the power steering fails,
increased effort will be required to
steer the vehicle.
