Features & Controls
Turn Signal and lane Change
lndicator
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. 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 and
Circuit Breakers’’
in the Index) and for
burned-out bulbs.

Features & Controls
Headlight High/Low Beam
First, you must have the headlights on.
(See “Lights”
in the Index.) Then, pull
the turn signal lever toward you for low
beams. For high beams, push the lever
away from you. When the high beams
are on, a blue light on the instrument
panel also will be on. It will go off
when you switch
to low beam.
Passing Signal
With the lever in the low beam position,
pull the lever toward you to
momentarily switch to high beam (to
signal that you are going to pass). When
you release the lever, the headlights will
return to low beam operation.

new,
in Canada, you will have this light
on the instrument panel. It goes on whenever the Daytime Running Lights
are on.
Daytime Running f ights
(Canada)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required
on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
The low beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
When you turn on your headlights, the
DRL will switch off and the exterior
lights wil come on. When you turn off

the headlights, the exterior lights will go
out and the low beams will change to
the reduced brightness
of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the
instrument panel will
go on whenever
the DRL are on. This light means that
only the DRL are on. When you turn on
your exterior lights, this light will go
out,
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights or passing signal any time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with DRL
off, set
the parking brake. The DRL will stay
off until you release the parking brake.
4 Interior Lights

switch.

Wanting Lights, Gages
and
Indicators
This section describes the warning lights
and gages that may be on your vehicle.
The pictures will help
you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something
is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to your
warning lights and gages could also save
you or others from injury. Warning
lights go on when there may be
or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in
the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when
you turn the ignition key just to let you
know they’re working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often’ gages
and
warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your
vehicle.

Your Driving and the Road
m Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are
coded by color, shape and symbols. It’s
a good idea to know these codes
so that
you can quickly grasp the basic meaning
or intent
of the sign even before you
have a chance to read it.
A
WAY I
Color of Road Signs
RED means STOP. It may also indicate
that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
DO NOT ENTER and
WRONG WAY.
NARROW BRIDGE
YELLOW indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no-passing zone, or
line
some
other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid
painted on
the road means “Don’t
Cross.”
LA w7
LOW
SHOULDER
ORANGE indicates road construction or
maintenance. You’ll want to slow down
when you see an orange sign, as part
of
the road may be closed off or torn up.
And there may be workers and
maintenance vehicles around, too.
GREEN is used to guide the driver.
Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or
show the direction you
should turn to reach
a particular place.
