Most importantly, don't be nervous! Turn on the alarm, depress the clutch pedal; using the car's momentum, try to move carefully to the edge of the carriageway and stop as far to the right as possible at the curb, and if possible, outside the carriageway.
Warning! Please note that when the engine is not running, the effectiveness of the vehicle's braking system is reduced and braking may require more force on the brake pedal.
Apply the parking brake; if the vehicle is stopped on a slope, use the wheel chocks.
In difficult traffic conditions and on country roads, set an emergency stop sign, as provided for by the Rules of the Road. Now it is necessary to identify and eliminate faults in the ignition system and the power system.
First, find out if there is gasoline in the tank. Turn on the ignition and look at the fuel gauge.
If the yellow fuel reserve lamp is off and the gauge needle shows fuel, it can be assumed that there is gasoline in the tank.
Open the hood and carefully inspect the engine compartment. Pay attention to the integrity of all units. Check if all the wires are in place, if there are broken, burnt, damaged insulation.
Inspect the petrol hoses for any leaks of petrol.
Warning! If gasoline is leaking, in no case do not start the engine until the malfunction is completely eliminated!
Inspect the expansion tank of the cooling system for leaks of coolant. Check the oil level in the crankcase as well. If everything is in order, proceed to checking the ignition system and the power supply system described earlier.
