Turn Signal Indicator Lights When you push the turn signal lever up before making a right turn, the right side arrow on the instrument panel flashes. When you push the turn signal lever down before making a left turn, the left side arrow on the instrument panel flashes. Usually, the turn signals turn off automatically after you turn your vehicle. If the turn signal continues to flash after you have made the turn, push the lever back to the OFF position. If one or both of your turn indicators do not flash or stay on continuously, have them serviced as soon as possible. In the meantime, be sure to use the accepted hand signals. High Beam Light This light illuminates when the headlamps are turned to high beam or when you flash the lights. 14
