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.
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.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes faster than normal, 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 for
burned-out bulbs
and check
the
fuse (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index).
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash at
a
normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out.
Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to
make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 314 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to
turn it off.
If
you need to leave the signal
on
for more than
3/4
mile
(1.2
km), turn off the signal and then turn it back
on.
Headlamp HigWLow Beam Changer
To change
the
headlamps from high to low beam, or low
to high, simply pull the turn signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument cluster will also
be on.
