Switch, Hazard Warning: Description
The hazard switch (1) is integral to the Integrated Center Stack (ICS), which is secured to the lower instrument panel center stack just below the Uconnect® touchscreen module. A red, stencil-like International Control and Display Symbol icon for Hazard Warning identifies the hazard switch button. The remainder of the hazard switch circuitry is concealed within the ICS.
The hazard switch button has panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination for night visibility. The switch button latches to a slightly lowered position when the hazard warning system is activated and unlatches to a position flush with the other push buttons in the ICS when the hazard warning is deactivated.
All of the circuitry and components of the hazard switch are contained within the molded plastic ICS. A single connector receptacle is integral to the back of the module. The ICS is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The hazard switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire ICS must be replaced. Refer to MODULE, INTEGRATED CENTER STACK (ICSM), REMOVAL .
