In Case Of Emergency - Cadillac 1975 Owner's Manual

SECTION 3
IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY
Four-Way Hazard
Warning Flasher
• This system flashes both front and both
rear signal lamps and the turn signal indi¬
cators during system operation.
• Use the warning flasher to warn other
drivers any time your vehicle becomes a
traffic hazard, day or night.
• Avoid stopping on the roadway if possi¬
ble.
• Turn on the hazard warning flasher by
pushing in on the knob located on the
column just below the steering wheel,
Fig. 3-1. Flasher can be actuated with
engine ignition either off or on.
• Turn signals do not operate with hazard
flashers operating.
• If the brake pedal is depressed, the lights
will not flash but will remain continu¬
ously lit.
• To cancel the flasher, pull the knob out.
Emergency Starting
• This vehicle must not be pushed or towed
to start.
FIG. 3-1: HAZARD FLASHER CONTROL
• A car with a discharged battery may be
started by using energy from a battery in
another car — called "jump starting".
JUMP STARTING
Jump starting may be dangerous and should
be attempted only if the following two condi¬
tions are met. If they are not, we strongly re¬
commend that you leave the starting to a com¬
petent mechanic.
• The battery in the other vehicle must be
12 volt and negatively grounded, like the
one in this car. (Check the other car's
owner's manual to see if it is.)
• The battery in your car must be equipped
with flame arrestor type filler/vent caps
on all filler openings (as was your
original-equipment Delco battery). (Each
Delco battery flame arrestor cap has a
grey disc rather than a small hole — see
Fig. 3-2.)
CAUTION: Departures from these condi-
'
tions or the procedure below could result |
in: (1) serious personal injury (particularly .
to eyes) or property damage from such '
