Four Way Hazard

• Use the warning flasher to warn
other drivers any time your ve-
hicle becomes a traffic hazard,
day or night.

if possible.
• Turn on the hazard warning
flasher by pushing in on the but-
ton located on the column just
below the steering wheel. Flasher

tion either off or on.

the lights will not flash but glow

button out.
Freeing Car from Sand, Etc.
If it becomes necessary to rock
the car to free it from sand, mud
or snow, move the selector lever
on automatic transmission models
from "D" to "R" in a repeat pat-
tern while simultaneously apply-
ing moderate pressure to the ac-
celerator. (On standard transmis-
sion models, move gear shift lever
from second to reverse gear.) Do
not race engine. For best possible
traction, avoid spinning wheels
when trying to free the car. The
use of AC Liquid Tire Chain

sistance when traction is lost on ice
or snow.
