HAZARD WARNING FLASHER
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located in
the center of the instrument panel above the
climate controls.
Push the switch to turn on the Hazard
Warning flasher. 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 flasher.
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 assis-
tance, the Hazard Warning flasher will continue
to operate even though the ignition is placed in
the OFF position.
NOTE:
With extended use, the Hazard Warning
flasher may wear down your battery.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can re-
duce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
• On the highways — Slow down and use the
highest gear possible.
• In city traffic — While stopped, put the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease engine idle speed.
• In city traffic — While moving, shift into the
highest gear possible to reduce engine RPM.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the
A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to
floor and the blower control to high. This
allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam com-
ing from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure
cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to the
vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed
and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts
should be torqued using a properly calibrated
torque wrench.
