Ttrrn
Signal
and
Lane
Change
Indicator
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.
To
signal a lane change,
justraise 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.
As
you signal a turn or
a
lane
change,
if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on,
a
signal
bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t
see
your turn signal.
If a bulb
is
burned out, replace
itto help avoid an
accident. If
the
arrows don’t go on at all when
you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the
fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’
in the Index).
If
you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps,
a
different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even
if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly
to
make sure they
are working.
Headlamp
High/Low
Beam
Changer
To change the headlamps
from high to low beam, or
low to high, simply pull the
turn signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on,
a light on the instrument
cluster will also be on.
