䳜 If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing, set the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position and then
push the vehicle to a safe place.
䳜 If your vehicle has a manual

ignition lock switch, the vehicle
can move forward by shifting to
the 2 (Second) or 3 (Third) gear
and then turning the starter
without depressing the clutch
pedal.
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv
ing:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi
ately or attempt to pull off the
road as this may cause a loss of
control.
2. When the vehicle has slowed
down to such a speed that it is
safe to do so, brake carefully and
pull off the road.
3. Park the vehicle at the side of
road, do not stop or park the
vehicle in middle of the road way.
In case of divided roads, park the
vehicle as much away from the
driving lanes to avoid inconve
nience to other vehicles and , easy
operation of tire change as men
tioned in page 7-15.
4. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transmission in reverse (man
ual transmission).
5. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is
away from traffic.
6. When changing a flat tire, follow
the instruction provided later in "If
you have a flat tire (with spare
tire)" on page 7-16.

1. Reduce your speed gradually,
keeping a straight line. Move cau
tiously off the road to a safe
place.
