| Brush your teeth; Write; Use a computer; Look for something in your car. |
刷牙；写字；使用电脑；在车内寻找物品。 |
| Keep your radio turned down so you can hear sirens, horns, or screeching tires. If you do not hear these noises, you may not react to danger in time to avoid a crash. |
保持收音机音量低，以便听到警笛、喇叭或刹车声。如果听不到这些声音，可能无法及时对危险作出反应，避免事故。 |
| Children or pets can be distracting, too. Always keep pets in a carrier while they are in a car, or have someone hold them while you drive. If children are not behaving, pull over and stop before you discipline them. |
儿童或宠物也可能分散注意力。宠物在车内时应放在宠物箱内，或者让别人抱着。如果孩子行为不当，应靠边停车再进行管教。 |

如果需要使用手机（或任何移动电子设备），应靠边停车，除非设备可用于免提通话或紧急情况。 |
| EMERGENCIES |
紧急情况 |
| There is always a chance of problems when you drive. Your car owner's manual will tell you what you should do to keep your car in good shape. If you do what the manual says, you will have fewer problems with your car. Here is what to do if you have these problems: |
驾驶时总有可能遇到问题。车辆使用手册会告诉你如何保持车辆良好状态。按照手册操作，可减少车辆问题。遇到以下情况，应这样处理： |
| Brakes Stop Working |
刹车失灵 |
| If your brakes stop working, push on the brakes a few times. If that does not work, use the parking brake. Put it on slowly so you do not lock the wheels. That would cause you to skid. If your car still does not slow down or stop, shift to lower gears. Look for a safe place to stop. Get your car off the road. Do not drive it until the brakes are fixed. |
如果刹车失灵，先踩几次刹车。如果不行，慢慢使用手刹，避免车轮锁死导致打滑。如果车辆仍未减速或停止，换低速档，寻找安全地点停车，将车停在路边。刹车修好前不要继续驾驶。 |
| Tire Blowout |
轮胎爆胎 |
| If a tire suddenly goes flat: Hold the steering wheel firmly. Keep the car going straight. Slow down. Take your foot off the gas. Do not put on the brakes until your car is almost stopped. Pull off the road in a safe place. |
如果轮胎突然爆胎：握紧方向盘，保持车辆直行，减速，松开油门。车辆几乎停下前不要踩刹车。将车驶到安全地点靠边停车。 |
| Engine Stops |
发动机熄火 |
| If your engine stops working, the car may be hard to steer. Hold the steering wheel firmly. Do not turn the key to off. Pull off the road. The brakes will work but you will have to push hard on the pedal. |
如果发动机熄火，车辆可能难以操控。握紧方向盘，不要将钥匙转到关闭档。靠边停车，刹车仍能使用，但需踩得更用力。 |
| Headlights Stop Working |
车灯失灵 |
| If your headlights stop working, try the switch a few times. If that does not work, put on your emergency flashers, your turn signals, or your parking lights. |
如果车灯失灵，尝试多次切换开关。如果仍不亮，开启双闪灯、转向灯或停车灯。 |
