Taking Care of the Unexpected
221
If You Crash
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. If you or anyone else
has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and
whether it is safe to continue driving. If you cannot drive safely, send
someone for help. Do not drive if you will risk further injury.
If you decide that you are capable of driving your SXS safely, first
evaluate the condition of your SXS. If the engine is still running, turn
it off and look it over carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check the
tightness of critical nuts and bolts securing such parts as the steering
wheel, control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage
but decide to try driving the Honda SXS back to your base, drive
slowly and cautiously.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent.
When you get home, thoroughly check your Honda SXS and correct
any problems you find. Also, be sure to have your dealer check the
frame suspension, seat belts, and occupant protective structure after
any serious crash.
