Preparing the vehicle

from passing traffic and on solid and non-
slip ground.

▷ Set the parking brake.
▷ Engage a gear or move the selector lever to
position P.
▷ As soon as the traffic flow permits, have all
vehicle occupants get out of the vehicle
and ensure that they remain outside the
immediate area in a safe place, such as be‐
hind a guardrail.
▷ Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
remove the tool and the emergency wheel
from the vehicle.
▷ If necessary, set up a warning triangle or
portable hazard warning lamp at an appro‐
priate distance.
