IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS  
The Hazard Warning Flashers switch is located 
on the instrument panel below the climate 
controls.
Hazard Warning Flashers Switch
 Push the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning 
Flashers. When the switch is activated, all 
directional turn signals will flash on and off to 
warn oncoming traffic of an emergency. Push 
the switch a second time to turn off the Hazard 
Warning Flashers.
This is an emergency warning system and it 
should not be used when the vehicle is in 
motion. Use it when your vehicle is disabled and 
it is creating a safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek 
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will 
continue to operate even though the ignition is 
placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
With extended use, the Hazard Warning 
Flashers may wear down your battery.
FUSES
General Information
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use 
an appropriate replacement fuse with the 
same amp rating as the original fuse. Never 
replace a fuse with another fuse of higher 
amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with 
metal wires or any other material. Do not 
place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity 
or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses 
may result in serious personal injury, fire 
and/or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the 
ignition is off and that all the other services 
are switched off and/or disengaged.
21_VM_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 188   

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY189
The fuses protect electrical systems against 
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check 
the fuse element inside the blade fuse for a 
break/melt. Also, please be aware that when using power 
outlets for extended periods of time with the 
engine off may result in vehicle battery 
discharge.
Blade Fuses
Underhood Fuses
The Front Distribution Unit is located on the 
right side of the engine compartment, next to 
the battery. To access the fuses, remove 
fasteners and remove the cover.
Front Distribution Unit
The ID number of the electrical component 
corresponding to each fuse can be found on the 
back of the cover.If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an 
authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety 
systems (air bag system, braking system), 
power unit systems (engine system, trans -
mission system) or steering system blows, 
contact an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
If it is necessary to wash the engine 
compartment, take care not to directly hit the 
fuse box, and the windshield wiper motors 
with water.
