Kia pride 1997 - Hazard Warning Flasher

HAZARD WARNING, OVERHEATING
Hazard Warning flasher
501
The hazard warning flasher serves as a
warning to other drivers to exercise
extreme caution when approaching, over-
taking, or passing your vehicle. It should
be used whenever emergency repairs are
being made or when your vehicle is
stopped near the edge of a roadway.
Depress the flasher switch with the igni-
tion switch in any position and all turn-
signal lights will flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when the
hazard flasher is on.
Care must be taken when using the
hazard warning flasher while the vehi-
cle is being towed. Local regulations
may prohibit using it in this manner.
Overheating
If your temperature gauge indicates over-
heating, if you experience a loss of
power, or if you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine has probably
overheated. You should follow this proce-
dure.
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
stop your vehicle; shift to neutral and
apply the parking brake.
Make sure the air conditioner is off.
3. If coolant or steam is boiling out of
the radiator, stop the engine. Then
turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion, but do not start the engine. The
radiator cooling fan will automatically
operate with the ignition switch in the
"ON" position. If the cooling fan does
not operate call an Authorized Kia
Dealer for assistance. If coolant is not
boiling out, allow the engine to idle and
open the bonnet to permit the engine
to cool gradually.
If the temperature does not go down
with the engine idling, stop the engine
and allow sufficient time for it to cool.
