This figure lights up when you turn the key to RUN or START when your
safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a buzzer or tone,
too. It’s the
reminder to .buckle
up. In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even if you’re not
buckled up. And
some crashes can be so serious, like being hit by a train,
that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes are in
between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive an\
d sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt
or killed.

lever to shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. An indicator near t9e lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
4L
ON
2H
4H
The front axle portion of the indicator diagram will light up when you shift into
four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the indic\
ator’s lighting is
normal. If the indicator does not light up, or
if the front axle light does not go
out after you shift
out of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check your
system.
When your headlights or parking lights are
on, rotate the dial to the right of
your headlight switch
to adjust the brightness of your transfer case indicator
light. Rotate the dial up
to brighten, or down to dim, the indicator light.

Turn Signal and Lane Change indicator
..
1
." I .. . ..,." .
K2240
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 flash twice as fast as
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 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 lig\
hts, 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 yo\
ur 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 your own state or provincial h\
ighway
authority for applicable lighting regulations.
