Hazard Flashers

The hazard flashers are controlled by a non-latching switch in the center of the instrument panel. The hazard flashers operate at all times when selected and are not dependant on ignition mode.

When the hazard flashers are selected on, all of the front, rear and side turn signal indicator lamps operate as previously described and both left and right turn signal warning indicator in the instrument cluster also flash. The hazard warning flashers flash at a rate of 380ms on and 380ms off. When the hazard flashers are active, they override any request for turn signal indicator lamp operation.

If a trailer is fitted, the trailer turn signal indicator lamps will flash at the same frequency as the vehicle indicators. The trailer warning indicator in the instrument cluster will also flash. If a trailer bulb is defective, the trailer warning indicator will not flash.

The hazard flashers can also be activated by a crash signal from the Restraints Control Module (RCM). This is received by the CJB which activates the hazard flashers. The hazard flashers can be cancelled by changing the ignition mode to accessory mode 4 or off or the crash mode is cancelled by the RCM. Refer to Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) .
