HAZARD FLASHER CONTROL

The hazard flasher control is located
on the instrument panel by the
radio. The hazard flashers will
operate when the ignition is in any
position or if the key is not in the
ignition.

Push in the flasher control and all front and rear direction signals will
flash. Press the flasher control again to turn them off. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and is creating a safety hazard for other motorists.

Note: With extended use, the flasher may run down your battery.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine
when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt.

After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch
may have been activated.

The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located in the front passenger
footwell area in the right upper
corner.

To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition to the off
position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.

4. Turn the ignition the on position.

5. Wait a few seconds and return
the key to the off position.

6. Make another check for leaks.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.

Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
