Hazard warning flasher
OCK060021
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching,
overtaking, or passing your vehicle.
It should be used whenever emergency
repairs are being made or when the
vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the
ENGINE START/STOP button in any
position. The flasher switch is located in
the center facia panel. All turn signal
lights will flash simultaneously.
僅 The hazard warning flasher operates
whether your vehicle is running or not.
僅 The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
僅 Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the vehi-
cle is being towed.
In case of an emergency while
driving
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while driv-
ing
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the vehicle slow down
while driving straight ahead. Do not
apply the brakes immediately or
attempt to pull off the road as this
may cause a loss of control. When the
vehicle has slowed to such a speed
that it is safe to do so, brake carefully
and pull off the road. Drive off the
road as far as possible and park on
firm level ground. If you are on a
divided highway, do not park in the
median area between the two traffic
lanes.
2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn on
your emergency hazard flashers, set
the parking brake and put the trans-
mission in P.
3. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle. Be sure they all get out on the
side of the vehicle that is away from
traffic.
4. When changing a flat tire, follow the
instruction provided later in this sec-
tion.
If the engine stalls while driving
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keep-
ing a straight line. Move cautiously off
the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
