HAZARD WARNING
FLASHER
The hazard warning flasher provides addi-
tional safety when the vehicle must be stopped on
the side of the roadway and presents a possible
hazard to other motorists. When the flasher is on,
it serves as a warning to the other drivers to ap-
proach and overtake your vehicle with caution.
WARNING
Operating the hazard warning flasher
system while moving on the highway
is illegal.
The front directional signals and the taillights
will flash intermittently when the flashers are in
operation. The hazard warning flashers will not
operate when the service brake pedal is de-
pressed. The turn signal will not operate when the
flashers are on. When it is necessary to leave the
vehicle, the flasher system will continue to oper-
ate with the ignition key removed.

IF YOU GET A FLAT TIRE

In case of sudden tire failure, avoid heavy
brake application. Tire manufaturers recommend
accelerating briefly to regain steering stability,
then gradually decreasing speed. Avoid quick
steering movements. Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move slowly to a safe, off-road place.
Park on a level spot, turn off the ignition and turn
on the hazard warning flasher system.
Because of the size and weight of this vehicle
and its tires, and the possible complications in-
volved in tire changing, we strongly advise ob-
taining professional road service to change a flat
tire whenever possible. However, if an emergen-
cy requires you to change the tire yourself, please
exercise extreme caution and read all tire chang-
ing information, both in this manual and in the
chassis manufacturer's operating guide.
