Headlight Failure

In the case of a headlight failure, you should try the following.

• Turn on the dimmer switch– it may turn on the headlight again.
• Switch the headlights on and off a few times.
• Turn on the parking lights, emergency flashers or turning indicators.

Stuck Accelerator

If the accelerator pedal is released to reduce speed, but the car continues at the same speed or accelerates, the accelerator is stuck. Under such a crisis, you should attempt the following.

• You must press the brake firmly. Do not use the handbrake.
• Shift the transmission into neutral.
• Turn the engine off - only if all else fails.
• Bring the car to a complete stop to the side of the road

Forced on to the Road Shoulder

If you have been forced on to the edge of a road, do not rush to get back on to the road, instead:

• Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and drive in a straight line.
• Slow down and check traffic before you enter the road again
