Never ignore warning lights
or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe
distance from moving
traffic and where no part of
the hot catalytic converter
and exhaust system can
come into contact with
flammable materials
under the vehicle, such as
dry grass, brush, spilled
fuel, etc.
A broken-down vehicle
presents a high accident
risk for itself and others.
Switch on emergency
flashers and set up a
warning triangle to warn
oncoming traffic.
Before opening the engine
hood, always switch off the
engine and let the engine
cool down.
Always be very careful
when working in the engine
compartment, which is a
potentially dangerous area
in any motor vehicle and
can cause serious personal
injury.
