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”
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 instal\
led, the signal
indicator will flash even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are w\
orking.
Operation of Lighting System
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and taillamps) 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 lamps.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog
lamps only when your lower beam headlamps are also on,
or that headlamps
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In \
addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
