Roadside emergencies

HAZARD FLASHER
CONTROL
Use only in an emergency to warn
traffic of vehicle breakdown or
approaching danger. Depress to
activate. Depress again to switch
off. The hazard lights can be
operated when the ignition is off.
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH
If the engine cranks, but does not
start or does not start after a
collision, the fuel pump shut off
switch may have been activated.
The shut off switch is a device
intended to stop the electric fuel
pump when your vehicle has been
involved in a substantial jolt.
Once the shut off switch is
activated, you must reset the
switch by hand before you can start
your vehicle. The switch is located
on the side panel in the driver's
side footwell.
