198IN 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. The car is to be lifted
positioning the jack or
the workshop lift arm
plate only in the points shown
(1-2 fig. 100).
Between the lift plate and the
body interpose a rubber pad
with a maximum size of 60x60
mm and maximum thickness of
30 mm. The pad should insert in
the special recess on the under
door panel, without interfering
with it.
USING AN ARM LIFT OR
WORKSHOP LIFT
The vehicle must only be lifted laterally
positioning the ends of the arms or the
workshop lift in the areas (1-2) illustrat-
ed, approx. 30 cm from the profile of the
wheelhouse (fig. 100).
