Power assist for the brakes and steering wh eel will be lost, making the brake pedal
harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as

in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pe dal with both feet and firmly
depress it. Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the
effort required to slow the vehicle.

After slowing down, stop the vehicl e in a safe place by the road.
Stop the engine.
