Take all vehicle keys with you when leaving your vehicle.
Set up a warning triangle or other warning device in order to alert
other motorists and cyclists.
Let the engine cool down and get expert assistance if necessary.
If the emergency flashers are on, use the turn signal lever to
indicate a direction or lane change, for example when the vehicle is
being towed. This temporarily interrupts the emergency flashers.
Switch on the emergency flashers when:
Traffic suddenly slows down or stops in front of you to warn those
approaching from behind.
In any emergency situation.
If the vehicle breaks down.
When being towed.
Always obey traffic laws that govern the use of emergency flashers
where you are driving.
If the emergency flashers are not working, a different method – as
permitted by law – must be used to alert other motorists and cyclists
to the breakdown.
