a safe place and take emergency measures.
• If your vehicle suffered a serious blow to the bottom, im-
mediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and check for fuel
leak or brake fluid spill and for damages to the car
underbody.
• If you have a sudden puncture or blowout on the road, keep
your composure, grip the steering wheel firmly, brake gen-
tly to reduce your speed and then stop in a safe place.
WARNING
If the front axle and tire were severely hit on the road and you no-
tice steering problems (steering wheel shakes up and down / right
and left / in circular motion), immediately visit to the nearest
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation to
check and repair steering and suspension parts.
