Turn Signal and Lane
Change Features
The tum
signal
lever is located
on the left
side
of the
steering
column immediately under the
steering wheel. The lever is moved
upward to
signal
a right tum
and
downward to signal a left turn.
Lamps on the front and rear of
the car transmit this signal to
other motorists and pedestrians.
The ignition
switch
must be in the
"ON" position in order for the
turn signals to be operational. This
feature prevents battery drain if
the lever is left in an "ON" posi-
tion when your car is not in use.
In a normal turning situation
such as turning a corner, the
signal is cancelled automatically
after the tum is completed. How-
ever, in
some
driving maneuvers
such as changing lanes on an
expressway, the steering wheel is
not turned back sufficiently after
completing the turn to automatic-
ally cancel the tum sIgnal. For
convenience
in such maneuvers,
the driver can flash the tum
signals
by moving the tum signal
lever part
way (to
the first stop)
and
.
holding it there. The lever
returns to the neutral or cancelled
position when the driver releases
his hold on the lever.

A green light on the instrument
cluster flashes to indicate proper
operation of the front and rear
tum signal lamps. If the indicator
lamp remains on and does not
flash, check for a defective lamp
bulb. If the
indicator
fails to light
when the lever is moved, check
the fuse and indicator bulb.
