HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
upper switch bank just below the radio.

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

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the

vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off
the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The

vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack.

Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is

on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it can be raised on
a lift.
