'hrn 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.
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 arrows flash
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 arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see "Fuses
and
Circuit
Breakers'' in the Index). If the arrows still do not flash,
have your Pontiac Dealer service department check
the
bulb in the instrument panel.
Headlamp Highhow Beam
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, pull the t u r n
signal lever all the way
toward you.
Then release
it.
When the high beams are on, a light
on
the instrument panel also will be on.
The headlamp higMow beam indicator may flash if the
Daytime Running Lamps ( D m ) system is experiencing
a problem or if a headlamp is malfunctioning.
