13-24 Useful advice for emergencies
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 brake booster becomes inoperative
because no compressed air is supplied, and
braking power is significantly reduced.
• The power assistance then becomes unavail-
able, 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.
Perform the following procedure to start your engine
by connecting your battery to the well charged bat-
tery of another vehicle with booster cables.
CAUTION
• Use booster cables able to handle large cur-
rents.
• Use a booster battery of the same voltage as
your vehicle’s battery.
Your vehicle’s electrical system operates on
a 12 V power supply. Confirm that the vehi-
cle giving the boost also has a battery or bat-
teries connected for 12 V power supply.
