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 automatically return to the off position. To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until the change is completed. The lever will return by itself when released. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change. For bulb replacement, see Taillamps, Turn Signal, Stoplamps and Back-up Lamps on page 5-54. For a blown fuse or circuit breaker, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-116 Turn Signal On Chime If a turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn signal and the message TURN SIGNAL will also appear in the DIC. To turn the chime and message off, move the turn signal lever to the off position. See "TURN SIGNAL" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-42 for more information. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer 53 (Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer): To change the headlamps from low to high beam, push the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever toward you. Then release it. When the high beams are on, this indicator light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash more quickly than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not see your vehicle's turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when signaling a turn, check for a burned-out bulb or a blown fuse. 3-8
