HAZARD FLASHERS

Note: The hazard flashers operate when

the ignition is in any position, or if the key is

not in the ignition. If used when the vehicle

is not running, the battery loses charge. As

a result, there may be insufficient power to

restart your vehicle.

The flasher control is on the

instrument panel. Use your

hazard flashers when your

vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other

motorists.

• Press the flasher control and all front

and rear direction indicators flash.

• Press the button again to switch them

off.

FIRST AID KIT

The first aid kit can be stowed under the

front passenger seat or in the luggage

compartment.

WARNING TRIANGLE (If Equipped)

The warning triangle can be stowed under

the front passenger seat.

FUEL SHUTOFF

WARNING

If your vehicle has been involved in a

crash, have the fuel system checked.

Failure to follow this instruction

could result in fire, personal injury or death.

Note: When you try to restart your vehicle

after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure

that various systems are safe to restart.

Once the vehicle determines the systems

are safe, then the vehicle allows you to

restart.

Note: In the event that your vehicle does

not restart after your third attempt, contact

a qualified technician.

The fuel pump shutoff stops the flow of

fuel to the engine in the event of a

moderate to severe crash. Not every

impact causes a shutoff.

Should your vehicle shut off after a crash,

you may restart your vehicle.

1. Press START/STOP to switch off your

vehicle.

2. Press the brake pedal and

START/STOP to switch on your

vehicle.

3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal

and press START/STOP to switch off

your vehicle.

4. You can attempt to start the vehicle

by pressing the brake pedal and

START/STOP, or press START/STOP

without pressing the brake pedal.

JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE

WARNINGS

Batteries normally produce explosive

gases which can cause personal

injury. Therefore, do not allow

flames, sparks or lighted substances to

come near the battery. When working near

the battery, always shield your face and

protect your eyes. Always provide correct

ventilation.

Keep batteries out of reach of

children. Batteries contain sulfuric

acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or

clothing. Shield your eyes when working

near the battery to protect against possible

splashing of acid solution. In case of acid

contact with skin or eyes, flush

immediately with water for a minimum of

15 minutes and get prompt medical

attention. If acid is swallowed, call a

physician immediately.
