Turn Signal andHazard WarningIndicators
The left or right turn signal light blinks when you signal a lane changeor turn. If the light does not blink or

soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling.
When you turn on the Hazard
Warning switch, both turn signal lights blink. All turn signals on theoutside of the car should flash.

beam headlights.

Towing a Trailer
Your car has a trailer lighting connector. To use the connector,
remove the left rear light cover. Refer to the drawing above for the
wiring color code and purpose of each connector pin. Since the lighting and wiring can be
different for various brands of
trailers, have a technician who is
familiar with your trailer modify its
lighting plug. A converter may be required between the car and trailer
for the lights to work correctly. Before Starting Out
As you are preparing to tow your trailer, do the following:
Measure the trailer's tongue load.
You can do this with a bathroom
scale.
Verify that the hitch and safety chain are securely fastened.Check the condition and air
pressure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure
can seriously affect the handling.
Also check the spare tire. With everything loaded and thetrailer connected, check that therear of the car is not sagging. If so,
redistribute the load in the car. Check that all lights on the car and
trailer are working properly.
