When Your Vehicle is Involved in an Accident
Stay calm and take the following steps:
1. Avoid a chain of accidents
Operate the hazard warning flasher, pull the vehicle immediately over to a safe
place that doesn't impede traffic (shoulder, verge) and stop the engine.
2. Aid the injured
Render whatever first aid is possible to injured people until a doctor or ambulance
arrives. In particular, do not move people with head injuries. If there is a danger
of a series of accidents, move them to a safe place.
3. Contact the police
Contact the police, give them the information on the location of the accident,
the conditions, injured people and the extent of their injuries, and then receive
instructions.
4. Confirm information from other parties (name, address and telephone number)
and the conditions of the accident.
5. If necessary, contact the insurance company or the dealer you purchased the
vehicle from.
ADVICE
• Make sure to notify the police and consult a doctor even for small accidents and
light injuries. When receiving a blow to the head in particular, it is possible for
symptoms to develop later even if there are no external wounds.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
When Driving on Bad Roads
Pressing the accelerator pedal will dig the
vehicle deeper into the mud and make it
harder to extricate.
Either put stones, tree branches or
blankets under the tyres to gain traction, or
repeatedly drive forward and in reverse and
use the vehicle's momentum to extricate it.
