In Case of Emergency
Four Way Hazard
Warning Flasher
• Use the warning flasher to warn

if possible.

flasher, with engine ignition off

to main structural members of the
car, not to bumpers or bracketing.
Safety chains or cables should be
used. Remember that power steer-
ing assist will not be available
when engine is inoperative.
