●Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.

mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
