Hazard Flasher Switch
*
[SC04620(ALL)04/95]
The hazard flasher is used to alert other drivers to hazardous
situations.
*
[SC04630(ALL)09/93]
The hazard flasher switch operates the same lamps as the turn
signal lever. When the hazard flasher is activated, all of these
lamps will flash on and off. The turn signal indicators cannot be
used when the hazard lamps are flashing. Operation of the
hazard flashers does not affect operation of the brakelamps.
*
[SC04640(ALL)12/93]
The flashers work even with the key out of the ignition. The
flashers will work for up to two hours when the battery is fully
charged and in good condition. They will not drain the battery
excessively. If the flashers run for longer than two hours or if
your battery is not fully charged, your battery may be drained
to the point where the vehicle will not start.
[SC04650(ALL)09/93]
The hazard flasher switch is located on top of the steering
column.

149 remember. This is the number that you enter on the keypad to
unlock the door. The personal code can be changed as often as
you like.
[FV05400(ALL)02/95]
The permanent code is a number that is assigned to your
vehicle and can be used to program your personal code into the
system.
[FV05500(ALL)02/95]
For your convenience, one additional piece of tape with the
permanent code has been included in the glove box. Place this
additional piece of tape in a safe location where you can refer
to it when necessary. Do not put it in any location that is
accessible to unauthorized persons, since this would allow them
entrance to your vehicle.

Programming your Personal Code
[FV06250(ALL)02/95]
A personal code does not replace the permanent code that the
dealership gave you. The original dealer code will always work
in addition to your personal code.
*
[FV06300(ALL)02/95]
To program your own code:
*
[FV06350(ALL)02/95]1.
Select five digits for your personal code.
[FV06400(ALL)10/93]2.
Enter the permanent code.
[FV06500(ALL)11/93]3.
Within five seconds, press the 1/2 button.
[FV06600(ALL)11/93]4.
Within five seconds of pressing the 1/2 button, enter your
personal code. Press each digit within five seconds of the
previous digit.
[FV06700(ALL)11/93]5.
The keyless system registers this second code. To open your
vehicle, you can now use either code. The module
remembers only one personal code at a time. Entering a
second personal code will erase the first and replace it with
the new code.
[FV06800(ALL)10/93]6.
After you have entered your personal code, the driver's door
will unlock.

The keyless entry system automatically erases your personal
code. The system will now only respond to the permanent
code.
[FV07270(ALL)10/93]
Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order,
such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who
idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button five times.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.
