WHAT TO DO IN EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION |
|
- What if your brakes fail
Pump your brakes. Coast in low gear, then use your parking brake. If on a hill, sideswipe the bank or head for a shallow ditch if available.
- If you get into a skid
Take your foot off the gas. Never hit the brakes, but pump them rapidly. Turn wheels into (not away from) the direction of the rear- end skid.
- If your accelerator sticks
Try to pull the pedal up with your toe, never your hand. If unsuccessful, turn off ignition and apply brakes. But remember with the power off, steering and braking will be hard work in models with power steering and braking.
- What if your headlights go out
Hold a straight steering course and brake hard. Ease off road. Use flashlight to warn on coming traffic.
- If you have a blow out
Keep a firm and steady grip on steering wheel since car will pull to one side or weave. Don’t slam brakes- brake smoothly?
- If your hood flies up
Brake smoothly, ease off road. Use side windows for steering reference.
- If your power steering quits
Learn what to expect by switching off ignition at slow speeds in a deserted area. Its wormlike driving a truck with flat tires – but quite possible.
- If you must have to stop on a highway
Signal, slow down, and pull off road. Leave front, rear, interior and emergency lights on in dusk, darkness or bad weather. If near traffic, get all persons out of the car. Never block tail lights. Raise hood, tie handkerchief to antenna.
- What if your car catches fire
Get jack handle from trunk and rip loose burning wires, don’t touch. Smother wires with clothing. If fire is spreading get away quickly as tank will explode.
- What if you are in a collision course
Your blood chills a head on crash looms. This is the worst road disaster. Keep your wits. Brake hard, honk head for the right shoulder give up the entire road. Go off road entirely into a ditch if necessary ever roll over is better than the deadly head on collision.
