HAZARD WARNING FLASHER

The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located in the
center of the instrument panel between the center air
outlets.

Press the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher. When the switch is activated, all directional
turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming

traffic of an emergency. Press the switch a second time to
turn off the Hazard Warning flasher.

This is an emergency warning system and it should not
be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.

When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flasher will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the OFF position.

NOTE:

With extended use the Hazard Warning flasher

may wear down your battery.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate ac-
tion.

• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission

in NEUTRAL, but do not increase the engine idle
speed.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down

an impending overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C

system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
