HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
instrument panel, 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 flasher.

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

If it is necessary to leave the vehicle to go for service, the
Hazard Warning flasher will continue to operate with the
ignition key removed and the vehicle locked.

NOTE:

With extended use, the Hazard Warning flasher

may wear down your battery.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.

• On the highways — Slow down.
• In city traffic — While stopped, put transaxle in

NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the pointer rises to the H (red) mark,
the instrument cluster will sound a chime. When
safe, pull over and stop the vehicle with the engine at
idle. Turn off the air conditioning and wait until the
pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the H (red) mark for more than a
minute, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service.
