Turn And Lane-Change Signals; Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer - Chevrolet 2008 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

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 return
automatically.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever for
less than one second until the arrow starts to flash.
This will cause the turn signals to automatically flash
three times. It will flash six times if tow-haul mode
is active. Holding the turn signal lever for more than
one second will cause the turn signals to flash until you
release the lever. The lever will return by itself when
it is released.
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 turn signal.
3-10
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a blown
fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-125.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your 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 ON will
also appear in the Driver Information Control (DIC).
To turn the chime and message off, move the turn signal
lever to the off position.
