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 f\
lash 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.
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. Checkthe front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation Of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal ligh\
ting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your f\
og
lamps only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, or that headlights
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In add\
ition,
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 authority for applicable lighting regulations.

vary all the time that the engine is running.
The yellow warning range tells you that your engine speed is reach\
ing its
upper limits. Don’t drive very long with the tachometer in the yellow range.
If you have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as soon as possible.
If you have an automatic transmission, lift your foot off
of the accelerator
pedal
so that the transmission can select a higher gear.
The Red danger range tells you that your engine speed is at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off of the
accelerator pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red
danger range, engine damage will result.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red area,
or engine damage
will occur.

Warning Lightsy 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 and gages can signal that something is wrong be\
fore it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacem\
ent.
Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also s\
ave 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 sec\
tion, 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 toge\
ther to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to
do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
- and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.

I
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per
square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate
pressure in Pa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the l\
ow pressure
zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a dangerously low oil \
level or other problems causing low oil pressure.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be
costly and
is not covered by your warranty.
Indicator Lights
Indicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low
beam headlights to high beams, or when you use your hazard fl\
ashers. The
next few pages will also tell you about the indicator lights \
on your vehicle
and help you locate them.
