If your vehicle breaks down, you should first stop in the safest possible location and turn on your hazard lights. If possible, set up a warning triangle and avoid remaining on the roadway, especially in strong winds or limited visibility.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In difficult weather conditions, it is best to remain in the vehicle until help arrives, especially if the temperature is low or visibility is limited.
