Turn and Lane Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically. An arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won't see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it tohelp avoid an accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse(see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index). If the arrows still do not flash, have your Pontiac Dealer service department check the bulb in the instrument panel. Headlamp High/Low Beam To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you. Then release it. When the high beams are on, a light on the instrument panel also will be on. To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself when you release it. A warningchime signal will come on if you have left your turn signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1 km). The headlamp high/low beam indicator may flash if the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) system is experiencing a problem or if a headlamp is malfunctioning. 2-36
