Roadside Emergencies HAZARD FLASHER CONTROL The hazard flasher should be used when your vehicle is disabled and is creating a safety hazard for other motorists. The hazard flasher control is located on the center of the instrument panel. The hazard flashers will operate when the ignition is in any position or if the key is not in the ignition. • Press the flasher control and all front and rear direction signals will flash. • Press the flasher control again to turn them off. MyFord Touch™ (if equipped) • Press and hold the flasher control and all front and rear direction signals will flash. • Press and hold the flasher control again to turn them off. Note: With extended use, the flasher may run down your battery. FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF In the event of a moderate to severe collision, this vehicle is equipped with a fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact will cause a shut-off. Should your vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, you may restart your vehicle by doing the following: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. In some instances the vehicle may not restart the first time you try to restart and may take one additional attempt. WARNING: Failure to inspect and if necessary repair fuel leaks after a collision may increase the risk of fire and serious injury. Ford Motor Company recommends that the fuel system be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision. 322 2012 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
