Subaru Forester: Instruments and controls / Hazard warning flasher

The hazard warning flasher is used to warn
other drivers when you have to park your
vehicle under emergency conditions. The
hazard warning flasher works regardless
of the position of the ignition switch.
To turn on the hazard warning flasher,
push the hazard warning flasher switch on
the instrument panel. All the turn signal
lights and the turn signal indicator lights
will flash. To turn off the flasher, push the
switch again.
NOTE
When the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
NOTE
Some of the meters and gauges on the
combination meter use liquid-crystal
displays. You will find their indications
hard to see if you wear polarized
glasses...
Other information:
CAUTION
Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones, such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Always
put the cap on the accessory
power outlet when it is not in
use...
To prevent skidding and slipping, avoid
sudden braking, abrupt acceleration, highspeed
driving, and sharp turning when
driving on snowy or icy roads.
Always maintain ample distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you
to avoid the need for sudden braking...
