Road WarningHazard Warning FlasherThe hazard warning flasher serves as a warning to
other drivers to exercise extreme caution when
approaching, overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It
should be used whenever emergency repairs are being
made or when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of a
roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the ignition switch in
any position. The flasher switch is located in the center
console. All turn signal lights will flash
simultaneously.
•The hazard warning flasher will operate whether
your vehicle is running or not.
The turn signals do not operate when the hazard
flasher is
ON
.
Care must be taken when using the hazard warning
flasher while the vehicle is being towed. Local
regulations may prohibit using it in this manner.
OverheatingIf your temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you
experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably
overheated. You should follow these procedures if you
experience any of these symptoms.
1. Turn the hazard warning flasher ON, then drive to
the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle; set
the automatic transaxle in P (Park), or shift the
manual transaxle to neutral and apply the parking
brake.
