Turn 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, 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 arrows don’t
flash
but
just
stay
on,
a
signal
bulb
may
be
burned out
and other drivers won’t see
yourturn signal.
If
a bulb
isburned 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).
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
I
To
change the headlamps
from high to
low beam, or
lo’w
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.
