• Turn on the hazard warning
flasher by pushing in on the but-
ton located on the column just

Flasher can be actuated with
engine ignition either off or on.

the lights will not flash but re-
main continuously lit.
• To cancel the flasher, pull the
button out.

tern while simultaneously applying

models, move gear shift lever from
