What should you do if the engine fails?
Correct answer: Signal, steer to a safe place off the road and use hazard lights
Why
If the engine fails, signal and steer toward a safe place out of traffic, avoiding a bridge or tunnel stop if possible. Steering may need more effort. Use hazard lights and get help; do not turn the ignition to LOCK while moving or attempt repairs in fast traffic.
