Emergency Flasher Switch
The four-way Emergency Flasher switch is on the turn signal
body, just below the turn signal lever. The emergency flasher
makes all four turn signals (front and rear) flash simulta-
neously. The flasher works independently of the ignition
switch. You should always use the flasher if the vehicle is dis-
abled or parked under emergency conditions.
• To operate the emergency flasher, pull the lever out.
• The flasher is self-cancelling. To turn it off, activate the
left or right turn signal.
WARNING! Use your Hazard Flasher Warning
System any time you have to stop off the road or
on the side of the road, day or night. A hard-to-
see vehicle can result in an injury accident.
Another vehicle could run into you if you do not
set your flashers. Always move the vehicle a
safe distance off the road when stalled or
stopped for repairs.
•Your disabled vehicle can be dangerous for you
and others. The hot exhaust system could ignite
dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, or other material
that can cause fires. Do not park or operate your
vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system
could cause a fire.

tractor/trailer vehicles, provides air pressure to apply the
trailer brakes only. It operates independently of the foot trea-
dle valve. See page 83
