HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
instrument panel below the climate controls.

Press the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher. When the switch is activated, all direc-

tional turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. Press the switch a second time to
turn off the Hazard Warning flashers.

This is an emergency warning system and it should not
be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.

When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the OFF position.

NOTE:

With extended use the Hazard Warning flashers

may wear down your battery.

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.

NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
