Engine Stalling
1.
Be sure to slow down your vehicle grad-
ually in straight driving way, carefully get
it off the lane and park it in a safe place
on the side of the road.
2.
Turn on the hazard warning light.
3.
Restart the engine.
If the engine cannot be started, please refer
to the "Vehicle Can Not Be Started" section
in the Chapter 5 "Starting and Driving"
If the engine does not run, the brake
and the steering gear won't work,
therefore, it is more difficult than usual to
steer off or put on the brake
Moving a Stuck Car
If your vehicle is stuck in the snow, mud,
sand, and other similar place, you can try to
shift the gears between the forward gear
and reverse gear to shake the vehicle for-
ward and backward so as to get it out of
trouble.
If someone or something is near the
vehicle, do not move your vehicle in
the way described above. When shaking
the vehicle, the vehicle will suddenly move
forward or backward after being out of trou-
ble, which may cause injuries or damage to
people or objects around.
If you want to shake the vehicle,
please obey the following precautions
so as to avoid damage to the transmission
and other components:
•
Before shifting the transmission to the
forward gear or reverse gear, don't step
on the accelerator pedal.
•
Don't keep the engine idle and avoid
wheel spin.
After shaking the vehicle for a period of
time, if you still cannot get your vehicle out
of trouble, please apply other methods, e.g.
applying the traction tools.
