TURN SIGNALS AND LANE CHANGER
The turn 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 turn and downward
to
signal a left
turn. Lamps on the front and rear of the vehicle
transmit this signal to other motorists and pedes-
trians. The ignition switch must be in the "ON"
position in order for the turn signals to be opera-
tional. This feature prevents battery drain if the
lever is left in an "ON" position when your
vehicle is not in
use.
In a normal turning situation such as turning
a
corner,
the turn signal is canceled automatically
after the turn is completed. However, in some
driving maneuvers such as changing lanes on an
expressway, the steering wheel is not turned back
sufficiently after completing the turn
to
auto-
matically cancel the turn signal. For convenience
in such maneuvers the driver can flash the turn
signals by moving the turn signal lever part way
(to the first stop) and holding it there. The lever
returns to the neutral or canceled position when
the driver releases his hold on the
lever.
A light flashes to indicate proper operation of
the front and rear turn signal lamps. If the indi-
cator lamp remains on
.
and does not flash, check
for a defective signal lamp bulb. If the indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, check the
fuse and indicator bulb.

used to warn other drivers that your vehicle is a
traffic hazard. However, you should do every-
thing possible to avoid stopping on the actual
highway. The four-way hazard warning system
is
activated by pushing in on the button located just
below the steering wheel on the right side of the
steering column. When the system is operating,
turn signal indicators on the instrument cluster
will flash simultaneously. Use this system only
when your vehicle
is
stopped on or near the
roadway, or otherwise constitutes a traffic hazard.
The Hazard Warning Flasher may be canceled
by pulling the button outward.
CAUTION: Use of the hazard warning flasher
while the vehicle is moving is prohibited in
some states.
