IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
• Press the brake pedal with more
force than normal since you will
have reduced brake performance.
• More steering effort will be required
because the power steering system
will be disabled.
• If you are driving down a long hill,
the brakes may overheat and brake
performance will be reduced. Stop
often and let the brakes cool off.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
To prevent internal damage to the
transmission, never tow your vehi-
cle from the rear (backwards) with
all four tires in contact with the sur-
face.
