FIRST-AID KIT
It is a good idea to keep a fire extin-
guisher and blanket in the vehicle in
addition to the first-aid kit.
The first aid kit can be arranged on
the shelf as shown in fig. 48.

– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when the visibility is bad,
there is a high risk of other vehicles
running into those already stopped.
Get out of the vehicle immediately and
take refuge behind the guard rail.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the vehicle. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
windows are much more easily bro-
ken.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket,
sand or earth to put out fires no mat-
ter how small they are. Never use wa-
ter.IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situations arise.
– Pull the injured person from the ve-
hicle only if it risks catching fire, it is
sinking in water or is likely to fall over
a cliff or similar. Do not pull his/her
arms or legs, do not bend the head
and, as far as possible, keep the body
horizontal.

172VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The vehicle must
therefore be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
IMPORTANT The engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition key
at STOP. After washing, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rub-
ber boots and various guards) have
not be removed or damaged. To wash the vehicle properly:
1) Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when washing
the vehicle in an automatic carwash.
2) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3)Wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.
4)Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the vehicle, be careful
to get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect. You
should leave the vehicle out in the
open so that any water remaining can
evaporate more easily.Detergents pollute wa-
ter. For this reason, the
vehicle must be washed in
an area equipped for the collec-
tion and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Be careful not to direct the jet
of water on the electronic control
units. Have this done at a garage. Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been parked in the sun or while the
bonnet is hot: it could take the shine
off the paint.
Outside plastic parts must be cleaned
following the usual vehicle washing
procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the ve-
hicle under trees; the resinous sub-
stances that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner prod-
ucts to clean cloths to avoid scratch-
ing the glass or damaging the trans-
parency.
IMPORTANTTo prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe the
inside of the heated rear window gen-
tly in the same direction as the ele-
ments.
