Kia Optima: Road Warning
Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning flasher serves as a warning to other drivers to exercise extreme caution when approaching, overtaking, or passing your vehicle. It should be used whenever emergency repairs are being made, when the vehicle is stopped near the edge of a roadway, or whenever your vehicle is in distress.
Depress the flasher switch to activate at any time. The flasher switch is located in the center console switch panel. All turn signal lights will flash simultaneously.
- The hazard warning flasher operates whether your vehicle is running or not.
- The turn signals do not work when the hazard flasher is on.
- Care must be taken when the hazard warning flasher is used while the vehicle is being towed. Local regulations may prohibit using it in this manner.
