If your brakes stop working:

Rapidly pump the brake pedal several times. This will often build up enough brake pressure to allow you to stop. • If that does not work, use the parking brake. Pull on the parking brake handle if in the center console or push the parking brake foot pedal slowly so you will not lock the rear wheels and cause a skid. Be ready to release the brake if the vehicle does start to skid. • If that does not work, look for a safe place to slow to a stop. Make sure the vehicle is off the roadway. Do not continue to drive the vehicle without working brakes.

Turnabouts-

There may be times when you find yourself headed in the incorrect direction; for example, if you need to park on the other side of the roadway or you are lost and need to turn around. The safest way to change direction is to turn right and go around the block. This avoids most left turns across traffic. If you are on the interstate system, go to the next exit and turn around. It is illegal to cross the median strip or to use the crossover areas reserved for emergency vehicles.

Three-Point Turnabout

This is the most difficult and dangerous way to perform a turnabout. Use it only when the road or street is too narrow to make a U-turn and you cannot go around the block. This type of turn should only be used on a two-lane roadway.

Forward Two-Point Turnabout -

To perform a forward two-point turnabout check your mirrors and signal your intention to turn left. Move close to the center of the road and turn into the driveway or alley as near as possible to the right side. Stop as the rear of the vehicle clears the curb or edge of the driveway. Check in all directions for traffic, signal a right turn and shift to reverse. When the path is clear, move slowly back while turning the steering wheel quickly all the way to the right. As the vehicle centers in the nearest lane, straighten wheels, stop, shift to drive, cancel right signal and move forward.

Reverse Two-Point Turnabout

To perform a reverse two-point turnabout signal your intention to turn right, stop and check traffic to the sides and rear of the vehicle. Move back until the rear bumper of the vehicle reaches the near edge of the driveway. While backing slowly, steer rapidly all the way to the right. As the vehicle centers in the driveway, straighten the wheels and stop. Shift to drive and check in both directions; if clear, signal and turn left into the proper lane and accelerate as appropriate.

Two-point Turnabout

In this type of turn a street, alley or driveway is used to reverse the direction you are traveling when it is not practical or possible to drive around a block. Backing onto a street can be dangerous, even when exiting a driveway in a low traffic or in a residential neighborhood. The safest way to perform a two-point turnabout is to back the vehicle into the driveway. This allows you to see traffic better when leaving the driveway. Although backing into a driveway is safer, this type of turn should only be used on a two-lane roadway.

If the engine shuts off while you are driving:

Keep a strong grip on the steering wheel. Be aware that the steering wheel may be difficult to turn, but you can turn it. • Shift to neutral and look for an escape path. Do not brake hard, brake with steady pressure on the pedal, slow down then pull off the roadway. • Stop and try to restart the engine; if unsuccessful, raise hood and turn on emergency flashers. Call for help.
