serious injury.

When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.

inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.
