until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when

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.
