In case of emergency

If you park your vehicle in
case of an emergency

The hazard warning flasher should be
used in day or night to warn other drivers
when you have to park your vehicle under

Avoid stopping on the road. It is best to
safely pull off the road if a problem occurs.

The hazard warning flasher can be acti-

Turn on the hazard warning by pushing

off by pushing the switch again.

NOTE

When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
