Depress the brake pedal harder than usual, down-
shift to use engine braking and activate exhaust
braking to stop the vehicle. Apply the parking brake
when necessary. After the vehicle has been brought
into a stop, check parts, then have an authorized
dealer perform necessary inspection.
The vehicle will be set into the following very dan-
gerous condition. Pull the vehicle over when safe to
do so and try to start the engine.
• The braking force reduces extremely. You must
exert additional force on the brake pedal to
apply the brakes.
• The power steering system then becomes inop-
erative, making steering extremely difficult.
Additional force must be used when turning the
steering wheel.
Avoid sudden braking. Hold the steering wheel
firmly, and gradually slow down before pulling over
at a safe place.
To replace the tire, select a flat surface where your
vehicle will not hinder traffic. P. 12-55
