8. Set up a warning triangle or other warning device in order to alert
other motorists and cyclists.
9. Let the engine cool down and get expert assistance if necessary.
If the emergency flashers are on, use the turn signal lever to indicate
a direction or lane change, for example when the vehicle is being
towed. This temporarily interrupts the emergency flashers.
Switch on the emergency flashers when:
Traffic suddenly slows down or stops in front of you to warn those
approaching from behind.
In any emergency situation.
If the vehicle breaks down.
When being towed.
Always obey traffic laws that govern the use of emergency flashers
where you are driving.
If the emergency flashers are not working, a different method – as
permitted by law – must be used to alert other motorists and cyclists
to the breakdown.
WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very
hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
Never park where parts of the hot exhaust system or catalytic
converter could ignite flammable materials, such as dry grass,
brush, leaves, spilled fuel, etc.
The vehicle battery will be drained if the emergency flashers are
on for a long time – even if the ignition is switched off.

Unburned fuel can get into the catalytic converter during tow-
ing and damage it.
