Turn And Lane-Change Signals - GMC 2008 Savana Van 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 until
the arrow starts to flash. The turn signals automatically
flash three times and if the tow-haul mode is active
it flashes six times. Holding the turn signal lever for
more than one second causes the turn signals to
flash continually until the lever is released. The lever
returns by itself when you release it.
3-8
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash
in the direction of the
turn or lane change.
An arrow on the instrument panel cluster flashes in the
direction of the turn or lane change.
If arrows flash more quickly than normal when a turn or
lane change is signaled, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers may not see your turn signal.
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 or a blown
fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-104.
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 also appears
in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-49. To turn off the chime and
message, move the turn signal lever to the off position.
