as possible. Stop the engine and check the
alternator belt. If the alternator belt is loose,
broken or missing, the charging system needs
repair. (See “Drive belt” (P.8-11).)

Even if you judge it to be safe, have your
vehicle towed because driving it could be
dangerous.
Depressing the brake pedal without the

fluid level could increase the stopping
distance and require greater pedal travel
distance and effort.
