IN AN EMERGENCY

215

– In motorways pileups, especially with

poor visibility, the risk of being involved in

other crashes is high. Leave the car imme-

diately and go beyond the guard-rail.

– If doors are blocked, do not try to get

out of the car breaking the windscreen which

is stratified. The windows and rear screen

are easier to break.

– Remove the ignition key of the cars in-

volved.

– If you note a smell of fuel or other chem-

ical products, do not smoke and have a cig-

arette stubbed out.

– To put out fires, even small ones, use

the extinguisher, blankets, sand, or earth.

Never use water.

– If use of the lighting system is not nec-

essary, disconnect the battery negative ter-

minal (–).

IN THE EVENT

OF AN ACCIDENT

– It is important to keep calm.

– If you are not directly involved, stop at

least a few dozen metres away from the ac-

cident.

– On motorways, stop without blocking

the emergency lane.

– Turn the engine off and the hazard warn-

ing lights on.

– At night, illuminate the place of the ac-

cident with the headlights.

– Take care, do not risk being run over.

– Signal the accident placing the triangle

at regulation distance in a clearly visible

place.

– Call the emergency organisation, giving

the most accurate information possible. On

motorways use the special phones provid-

ed.

IF PEOPLE ARE INJURED

– An injured person must never be aban-

doned. Helping is compulsory also for per-

sons not directly involved in the accident.

– Do not crowd around injured people.

– Reassure the injured person that help

is on the way, and stay near to overcome

any panic.

– Release or cut the seat belt restraining

injured persons.

– Do not give injured persons anything

to drink.

– An injured person should never be

moved except in the following circum-

stances.

– Remove an injured person from the car

only in danger of fire, sinking or falling.

When removing an injured person: do not

pull the limbs or bend the head and keep

the body as horizontal as possible.

FIRST AID KIT

In addition to the first-aid kit, it is also

wise to keep an extinguisher and a blan-

ket in the car.
