IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Remember the breakdown
safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:-
• Wherever possible, consistent with
road safety and traffic conditions,
the vehicle should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a
lay-by. If a breakdown occurs on a
motorway, pull well over to the
inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If possible, position a warning
triangle or a flashing amber light at
an appropriate distance from the
vehicle to warn other traffic of the
breakdown (note the legal
requirements of some countries).
• Consider evacuating passengers
through nearside doors onto the
verge as a precaution in case your
Defender is struck by another
vehicle.
