Roadside Emergencies The hazard flasher is used to alert other drivers to hazardous situations. The hazard flasher switch operates the same lamps as the turn signal lever. When the hazard flasher is activated, all of these lamps will flash on and off. The turn signal indicators cannot be used when the hazard lamps are flashing. Operation of the hazard flashers does not affect operation of the brakelamps. The flashers work even with the key out of the ignition. 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. If the flashers run for longer than two hours or if your battery is not fully charged, your battery may be drained to the point where the vehicle will not start. What To Do If The Engine Does Not Start Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch If the engine cranks but does not start or does not start even after a small collision, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been activated. The shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt. Once the shut-off switch is activated, you must depress the reset switch by hand before you can start your vehicle. The fuel pump shut-off switch reset button is located behind the trim panel of the driver's left foot. 235
