Turn And Lane-Change Signals; Headlamp High/Low-Beam - Oldsmobile 1998 Cutlass 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 t u r n 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.
A warning chime signal will come on if you have left
your turn signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1
km).
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won't see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrow doesn't go on at all when you
signal a
turn,
check for burned-out bulbs and then check
the fuse (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index).

Flash to Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward
you until the high-beam headlamps come on, then
release the lever to turn them off.
