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 for burned-out bulbs
and a blown fuse
(see “Fuses” in the Index).
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.

Warning Lights and Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may b\
e on your
vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is wrong before 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 section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

A CAUTION:
The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and
it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.

The red Water in Fuel
light,
if you have one,
is located near the
middle right edge of
the instrument cluster,
just below the turn
signal and lane change
indicator.
This light will come on to warn you
if there is water in the diesel fuel
system. For more information on how this light works, see “Diesel Fuel
Requirements and Fuel System”
