Hazard Warning Flasher

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take extreme
caution when near it.

The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a road-
way.

Depress the hazard warning button and
all four turn signals will flash at once. To
stop the hazard flashers, press the button
again.

The flashers will flash and the high mount
brake light will stay on steadily (not flash)
with the brake pedal depressed.

The flashers work whether your vehicle
is running or not. The flashers 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 can be drained.

NOTE

S

The turn signals don’t work when
the hazard lights are on.

Check local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed. They
may forbid it.
