Hazard Warning Flasher

The flashing hazard warning lights warn other drivers to exercise extreme caution when approaching, passing, or overtaking your vehicle.
They should be used when an emergency repair is being performed or when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of the roadway.
Press the hazard warning switch with the ignition on, in any position. The hazard switch is located on the switch panel of the center console. All turn signal lights will flash simultaneously.
- The hazard warning flasher operates whether the vehicle is running or not.
- The turn signals do not operate when the hazard warning flasher is on.
- Use caution when operating the hazard warning lights while the vehicle is being towed.
