WARNING
A vehicle breakdown in traffic is dangerous and creates a great
risk for you, your passengers, and others.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move
the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to park
and, if necessary, lock all doors in an emergency. Turn on the
emergency flashers and set up another warning device about
25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn approaching
traffic.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves alone in the vehicle when locking the
doors. This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle
in an emergency. Depending on the time of year, people
trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low
temperatures.
