Ford Escape: Crash and Breakdown Information / Switching the Hazard Flashers On and Off
The hazard flashers operate when the
ignition is in any position, or if the key is not
in the ignition. The battery loses charge
and may have insufficient power to restart
your vehicle if your vehicle is in use or if the
key is not in the ignition.

The flasher control is on the instrument
panel. Use your hazard flashers when your
vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other
road users.
Switch the hazard flashers on and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
Press the button again to switch them off.
