IN THE EVENT
OF AN ACCIDENT
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved, stop
at a distance of at least ten metres from
the accident.
– On the motorway stop without ob-
structing the emergency lane.
– Turn off the engine and switch on the
hazard warning lights.
– At night, light the place of the acci-
dent with your headlights.
– Take care not to put yourself in dan-
ger of being run over.
– Signal the accident placing the reflect-
ing triangle plainly in view at the regula-
tion distance.
– Call the rescue organisation giving in-
formation as exact as possible. On motor-
ways use the special call boxes.
– In motorway pileups, especially with
poor visibility, the risk exists of being in-
volved in other crashes. Leave the vehi-
cle immediately and go over the guard
rail.
