Hazard Flasher To alert other drivers to hazardous situations, press the hazard flasher switch on the top of the steering column. All the turn signals will flash on and off at the same time. The flashers will also operate while the brake pedal is applied. To turn the flashers off, press the switch again. The flashers work whether your vehicle is running or not. The flashers will work for up to two hours when the battery is fully charged and in good condition. They will not drain the battery excessively unless they are left on for an extended period of time. Hazard flasher switch Turn Signals Move the lever up to signal a right turn. Move it down to signal a left turn. The corresponding indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash. If the turn signal stays on after you turn, move the lever back to the center off position. For lane changes, move the lever far enough to signal but not to latch. The lever will return to the OFF position when you release it. 84
