Hazard Warning Flasher - Mazda CX-8 Quick Manual

Hazard Warning Flasher

The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a
roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic hazard
and that they must take extreme caution
when near it.
Depress the hazard warning flasher and all
the direction indicators will flash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The direction indicators do not work

when the hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the use of

hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
violation of the law.
If the brake pedal is depressed while

driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the turn and lane
change signals to flash. Refer to
Emergency Stop Signal System on page
4-64.
Switches and Controls


is operating, all the direction indicators
