BUMP
STARTING
Bump starting by pushing, towing
or rolling downhill must be
avoided at all costs. This way of
starting could cause a rush of fuelRemember that as long as
the engine is not running,
the brake booster and
power steering do not work. You
therefore have to use considerably
more effort on both the brake
pedal and the steering wheel.
IF A TYRE
IS
PUNCTURED

While the car is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require
more effort as you no longer have
the benefit of the brake booster
and power steering. Do not use
flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerk-
ing. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not dam-
age the surrounding components.Do not extract the igni-
tion key during towing;
leave it at MAR, to prevent
the steering lock engaging and,
provided the electrical system is
not damaged, keep the brake lights
and direction indicators working.
When the ignition key is re-
moved, the steering lock will cut in
thus preventing the steering wheel
from being turned.IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved,
stop at least ten metres away from the
accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with your
car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on
the hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of
the accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk
being run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– If the doors are jammed, do not try
to leave the car by breaking the glass
of the windscreen as the glass is strat-
ified. Side windows and the rear win-
dow can be broken more easily.
