Warning 
Flasher 
• 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 possible. 
• Turn on  the  hazard  warning 
flasher  by pushing  in on  the  but- ton 
located  on the  column  just 
below  the steering  wheel. Flasher 
can  be actuated  with engine 
ignition  either off 
or on. 
• If the brake  pedal is depressed, 
the  lights  will not flash  but glow 
continuously  instead. 
• To cancel  the flasher,  pull the 
button  out.

the  car  to free  it from  sand,  mud 
or snow,  move the selector  lever

tern  while  simultaneously  applying
