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 leveral the way up or down. l When thet r is finished, the lever will automatically. un retwn An arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn or lanechange. If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. Turn Signal On Chime If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to turn it off. If the you need to leave the signal on formore than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on. Headlamp HigWLow Beam Changer 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. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow flashes faster than normal, 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 check the fuse (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index). 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, this light on the instrument cluster will also be on. 2-53
