Where is the hazard warning light and how to turn it on?

The hazard warning light is located on the center console, marked by two overlapping red triangles. Turn on the hazard lights in rainy weather to alert other vehicles of your presence. In case of an emergency malfunction while driving, you should turn on the hazard lights, headlights, and use the horn simultaneously.
I've seen many drivers fumbling to find the hazard light button on the road. The hazard light switch is usually the most prominent red triangular button on the center console, mostly located in the middle of the air vents or on the instrument panel to the right of the steering wheel. Just press it directly to activate, and all the turn signals will flash simultaneously. Remember these usage scenarios: when your car breaks down and needs emergency parking, during heavy rain or fog with visibility below 100 meters, or when towing a faulty vehicle, you must turn on the hazard lights. Once, my friend had a flat tire on the highway, immediately pulled over, turned on the hazard lights, and placed a warning sign, saving everyone in the car. It's best for new drivers to familiarize themselves with the button locations in their car before hitting the road, as there's no time to flip through the manual in an emergency.
The hazard light button is actually quite easy to find. Just take a quick glance at the center console after sitting in the driver's seat—the one with the red triangle symbol is it. In my car, the button is located in front of the gear lever, which is very convenient. Just press it once, and flashing red indicator lights will appear on the dashboard, with all four corner lights of the car synchronizing. When you need to stop due to an emergency, remember to turn on the hazard lights before getting out to check, especially during rainy, foggy, or nighttime conditions. For some older models, the switch might be on the left panel of the steering wheel. It's a good idea to wipe the button when washing the car to avoid dust causing poor contact.
