OVERDRIVE OFF lamp location
[SC04350(ALL)05/95]
With the transaxle range selector in the Overdrivejrange, the
OVERDRIVE OFF lamp will not be illuminated. The transaxle
will be allowed to upshift and downshift from 1st through 4th
gears. When the Overdrive on/off button is depressed, the
OVERDRIVE OFF lamp will illuminate. The transaxle will now
only upshift and downshift from 1st through 3rd gears. The
vehicle will always return to the overdrive operation mode
when the ignition is turned off and back on.
[SC04360(ALL)06/94]
If the lamp does not come on when the Overdrive ON/OFF
button is depressed or if the lamp flashes when you are driving,
have your vehicle serviced at the first opportunity. If this
condition persists, damage could occur to the transaxle.

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.
