IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
WHILE DRIVING
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
• If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing, set the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe place.
• If your vehicle has a manual
transmission not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, the vehicle can
move forward by shifting to the
2 (second) or 3 (third) gear and
then turning the starter without
depressing the clutch pedal.

If you have a flat tire while driving

If a tire goes flat while you are
driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight
ahead. Do not apply the brakes
immediately or attempt to pull off
the road as this may cause a loss
of control. When the vehicle has
slowed down to such a speed that
it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
a firm level ground. If you are on
a divided highway, do not park in
the median area between the two
traffic lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped,
turn on your emergency hazard

on the side of the vehicle that is
away from traffic.

the instruction provided later in
this section.
