Subaru Forester: What to do in an emergency / Road warning. Hazard lights switch

When an unforeseen emergency occurs while driving your Kia Telluride or when forced to pull over along the shoulder or roadside, activate the hazard warning flashers immediately. This alerts approaching drivers early so they can adjust speed, yield space, and exercise heightened caution when passing your location.

The hazard warning lights serve as an essential visual safeguard, signaling oncoming traffic and trailing drivers to use extreme care when approaching, overtaking, or maneuvering around your stationary or disabled vehicle.

Always engage the hazard lights whenever your Kia Telluride is immobilized near roadway edges, stopped in traffic lanes due to mechanical issues, or undergoing roadside repairs.

Depress the hazard switch button regardless of shift lever position or ignition state. Conveniently situated on the center fascia control panel, pressing this button causes all external turn signal lamps across the vehicle to flash in unison.

  • The hazard lighting system functions continuously across all vehicle states, operating reliably whether the engine is running or completely switched off.

  • Standard turn directional signals are temporarily overridden and will not function while the hazard flashers remain active.

  • Exercise caution when deploying hazard flashers during towing, ensuring local traffic regulations permit active hazards while moving under tow.
