Safety Equipment
The Fire Suppression System protects the passengers and vehi-
cle from an engine fire. The system responds to the heat of fire by
discharging a dry chemical extinguishing agent through four fixed
engine compartment nozzles to suppress the fire. A valve to the
right of the driver’s seat allows a manual discharge of agent. Indi-
cators and an audible alarm in the driver’s area verify the system
is active.
☞ NOTE:
An alarm sounds and the engine shuts down if this system is acti-
vated.
A hand-held fire extinguisher is located beside the right front dash
panel. Use the extinguisher only after the vehicle is in a safe loca-
tion, and all passengers are evacuated. Use only if there is no risk
to your personal safety.
Safety triangles, located ahead of the right front wheelhousing,
must be used if the vehicle is parked due to failure. Place triangles
several yards behind the vehicle to warn oncoming traffic.
