BREAKDOWNS

In case of a breakdown, you should:

  • Park up safely using hazard flashers if necessary
  • Try to find out as much as possible about the fault
  • Contact the customer’s traffic office immediately for instructions
  • Return to, and remain with, the vehicle until aid arrives

If the engine warning lights light up while you are driving, stop the vehicle safely and under control. This could be a sign of a major engine problem.
