Hazard Warning Flashers

also let police know you have a problem. Your front
and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
The hazard warning
flasher button is located in

Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in, and even if the key is not in the

lamps flash on and off. Press the button again to
turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn

the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind
your vehicle.
