In an Emergency
In the Event of an
Accident
It is important always to keep calm.
• If not directly involved, stop at a safe
distance of at least ten meters away
from the accident area.
• If on a motorway, stop without
obstructing the emergency lane and
be especially careful if you need to
exit the vehicle.
• Turn off the engine and switch on
the hazard warning flashers.
• At night, illuminate the accident area
with the headlights.
• Always act with caution to avoid the
risk of being crashed into by other
drivers.
• Indicate that an accident has
occurred by placing the emergency
triangle (if equipped) in a well
visible position and at the prescribed
distance.
• Call the emergency services,
providing as much information as
possible. On the motor way, use the
special call boxes.
• Remove the ignition key (if present)
from the vehicles involved.
• If fuel or other chemical products
can be smelled, do not smoke and
ask people around you to put their
cigarettes out.
• To extinguish fires, even small ones,
use a fire extinguisher, blankets, sand
or earth. Never use water.
• In multiple accidents occurred on
motorways, particularly where
visibility is poor, there is a high risk
of being involved in other collisions.
Leave the vehicle immediately and
move away from the area.
In case of Injured Persons
• Never leave the injured person alone.
Persons not directly involved in the
accident are also required to give
assistance.
• Do not crowd around injured
persons.
• Reassure the injured person that help
is on the way and stay close to them
to assist them to avoid possible panic
attacks.
• Release or cut the seat belts
restraining the injured persons.
• Do not give the injured persons
anything to drink.
• Never move an injured person.
• Remove the injured person from the
vehicle only in emergency situation,
e.g. if there is a risk of fire, sinking in
water or falling down into a pit.
• When removing an injured person,
do not pull his/her limbs, never bend
his/her head and, as far as possible,
keep his/her body in a horizontal
position.
