    After retaking control, the driver should take the first opportunity to safely move the vehicle from traffic. Before continuing, the driver should confirm that the vehicle is in good operating condition and that the load is still properly secured.

Caution: After an emergency braking maneuver has been performed, if necessary, move the vehicle from the area of danger. Take the first opportunity to safely move the vehicle away from traffic and confirm the load is still properly secured and that the vehicle is still in good operating order. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and product or property damage. Always apply the parking brake prior to exiting the vehicle.
