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. 
If for  some  reason,  your  turn  signal  is left on; the Driver  Information 
Center  will  display 
"TURN SIGNAL ON" (after driving  about  a  mile)  to 
remind  you  to  turn it 
off. 
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.

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)  meets 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  your 
own state  or 
provincial  highway  authoritfi  for applicable  lighting  regulations. 
Headlight  High-Low  Beam 
To change  the 
headlights  from  low 
‘beam  to high  or high  to 
low, 
pull the  turn  signal 
lever  all  the way  toward 
you.  Then release  it. 
When  the high  beams 
are  on, this  blue  light 
on the  instrument 
panel  also  will  be on. 
Flash-To-Pass  Feature 
This  lets you  use  your  high  beam  headlights  to signal  a driver  in  front of 
you  that  you  want  to pass.  It works  even  if your  headlights  are off. 
To use  it, pull  the multifunction  lever  toward you. When  you  do:

Folbwing Distance ~ ..

And, because y0u’re.a  good deal longer,  you’ll need to go  much  farther 
beyond  the passed  vehicle  before you .can  return  to 
your lane.

trailer  ‘to  .the-  left, just  move  that  hand 
to the  left. To move the trailer  to 
the  right,  .move  -your hand 
‘to the right.  Always  back  up. slowly  and, if 
possible,  have  someone guide you.
