Warning
Vehicle operations will change, so
stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the following in mind.
The power steering system will
not work so the steering wheel
will be hard to turn. It will require
more strength than during normal
operation.
As the brake booster will no
longer be functional, brake
effectiveness will be greatly
reduced. Be sure to apply more
pressure than usual to the brake
pedal.
If the power assist steering
system goes out because the
engine has stopped or the assist
system has malfunctioned, the
vehicle can still be steered.
However, much greater effort is
needed, especially in sharp turns
or at low speeds.
You or others could be seriously
injured.
When the Vehicle Breaks Down
During Driving
1. Use the hazard warning flasher
any time to warn other drivers,
day or night, and pull the
vehicle immediately over to a
safe place that does not
impede traffic (shoulder). Place
the triangle reflectors to alert
other traffic to the presence of
your vehicle.
2. If the vehicle can be exited
safely, have the other
passengers get out and wait in
a safe place.
3. If the vehicle can be exited
safely, walk to a safe place and
take appropriate measures by
using the closest
telephone, etc.
