front and rear direction signals will  
flash. Press the flasher control again  
to turn them off. Use it when your

FUEL  
FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH  
RESET  
The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the electric  
fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.  
After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump  
shut-off switch may have been activated.  
The fuel pump shut-off switch is  
located in the passenger’s foot well,  
by the kick panel.  
Use the following procedure to reset  
the fuel pump shut-off switch.  
1. Turn the ignition to the off  
position.  
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.  
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset  
the fuel pump shut-off switch by  
pressing in on the reset button.  
4. Turn the ignition to the on  
position. Pause for a few seconds  
and return the key to the off  
position.  
5. Make a further check for leaks in  
the fuel system.  
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  
15  
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.
