A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction
of the turn
or lane change. If
you have
a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lights, a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear
turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation of Lights
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green 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 arrows don’t
flash
but just stay on, 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 green arrows don’t
go on at all when you
signal a turn; check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs. Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlamps,
parking lamps, fog lamps, side marker lamps and
taillamps) meet all applicable Federal lighting
requirements, certain States and Provinces may apply
their own lighting regulations that may require special
attention before you operate
these lamps. For example,
