Direction indicators
Left: move the stalk downwards.
Right: move the stalk upwards.
Movement of the steering wheel returns the stalk to the off position automatically.
Hazard warning lamps
Simultaneous operation of the direc-tion indicators.
Only use these if there is danger,for example when you have to stop suddenly or in unusual driving con-ditions.
They also operate without the igni-tion being on.

T h e h e a d l a m p fl a s h o p e r a t e s e v e n with the ignition off.
Emergency lighting of hazard warning lamps
Sudden vehicle deceleration auto-matically causes the hazard warning lamps to activate.
These cease automatically when you reaccelerate or manually if you press the hazard warning lamps control on the dashboard.
Driving with the hazard warning lamps on renders the direction indicators inoperable.
