Parking in an Emergency

when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher and all
the direction indicators will flash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
•The direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are on.

hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
