HAZARD LIGHTS CONTROL

Use only in an emergency to warn
traffic of vehicle breakdown,
approaching danger, etc. Depress
to activate all indicators
simultaneously. Depress again to
switch off. The warning lights can
be operated when the ignition is
off.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

If the engine cranks but does not
start after a collision, the fuel
pump shut–off switch may have
been activated. The shut–off
switch is a device intended to stop
the electric fuel pump when your
vehicle has been involved in a
substantial jolt.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.

2. Check fuel system for leaks.
