HAZARD FLASHERS

Note: The hazard flashers operate when
the ignition is in any position, or if the key is
not in the ignition. If used when the vehicle
is not running, the battery loses charge. As
a result, there may be insufficient power to
restart your vehicle.

The flasher control is on the
instrument panel. Use your
hazard flashers when your

vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other
motorists.

•

Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.

•

Press the button again to switch them
off.

FUEL SHUTOFF

WARNING

If your vehicle has been involved in a
crash, have the fuel system checked.
Failure to follow this instruction

could result in fire, personal injury or death.

Note:  When you try to restart your vehicle
after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure
that various systems are safe to restart.
Once the vehicle determines the systems
are safe, then the vehicle allows you to
restart.

Note:  In the event that your vehicle does
not restart after your third attempt, contact
a qualified technician.

The fuel pump shutoff stops the flow of
fuel to the engine in the event of a
moderate to severe crash.  Not every
impact causes a shutoff.

Should your vehicle shut off after a crash,
you may restart your vehicle.

If your vehicle has a key system:
1.

Switch off the vehicle.

2. Switch on the vehicle.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to re-enable the

fuel pump.

If your vehicle has a push button start
system:
1.

Press START/STOP to switch off your
vehicle.

2. Press the brake pedal and

START/STOP to switch on your
vehicle.

3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal

and press START/STOP to switch off
your vehicle.

4. You can attempt to start the vehicle

by pressing the brake pedal and
START/STOP, or press START/STOP
without pressing the brake pedal.

JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE

WARNINGS

Keep batteries out of reach of
children. Batteries contain sulfuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or

clothing. Shield your eyes when working
near the battery to protect against possible
splashing of acid solution. In case of acid
contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of
15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, call a
physician immediately.

Batteries normally produce explosive
gases which can cause personal
injury. Therefore, do not allow

flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. When working near
the battery, always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide correct
ventilation.

WARNINGS

Use only the specified jacking points.
If you use other positions, you may
damage the body, steering,

suspension, engine, braking system or the
fuel lines.

Use only adequately sized cables
with insulated clamps.

Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
