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.

A green 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 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) 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 lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate
your lower beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be
turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with you own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake. This,
of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you
can move the Cruise Control switch from “ON’’ to “R/A?
