Hazard warning flasher
OPU0221047L
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 igni-
tion switch in any position. The flasher
switch is located in the centre console
switch 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 whilst the
vehicle is being towed.

In case of an emergency whilst
driving
If the engine stalls at a crossroad
or crossing
僅 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.
僅 If your vehicle has a manual transmis-
sion not equipped with a ignition lock
switch, the vehicle can move forward
by shifting to the 2 (second) or 3
(third) gear and then turning the
starter without depressing the clutch
pedal.
If you have a flat tyre whilst driv-
ing
If a tyre goes flat whilst you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down whilst
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 car 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 car is stopped, turn on your
emergency hazard flashers, set the
parking brake and put the transmis-
sion in reverse (manual transmission).
3. Have all passengers get out of the car.
Be sure they all get out on the side of
the car that is away from traffic.
