Puncture during driving
When driving, turn on the hazard
flashers if a tire is punctured. Hold the
steering wheel firmly, lift your foot off
the accelerator pedal, and slow the
vehicle gradually. Press the brake pedal
gently and drive the car into a safe area
to change the tire.
Faults during driving
When a fault occurs while driving, turn
on the hazard flashers. Park the vehicle
in a safe area at the roadside.
A warning triangle should be placed
behind the vehicle at a distance of 50 m
during the day or 100 m at night.
Caution
— Do not operate starter motor for
more than 10 seconds at a time.
— If the engine does not start, wait
10 seconds before trying again.
This will prevent starter motor
damage and battery discharge.
Warning
Do not brake suddenly when a tire is
punctured. Sudden braking may
cause the vehicle to swing to one side
and cause accidents.
