Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down to the latched position. When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change. The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: • Turn and Lane-Change Signals • Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer • Flash-to-Pass • Exterior Light Control For information on the exterior light control, see Exterior Lamps on page 3-14 later in this section. 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 warning chime signal will come on if you have left your turn signal on for more than 2/3 mile (1 km). 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 to help avoid an accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check the fuse. See Fuses on page 5-88. 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. 3-8
