Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine nrn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the multifunction lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is finished,
the lever
will return automatically.
A chime will remind you if you leave your turn signal
on for more than
1 mile (1.6 km) of driving.
An 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
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 arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the
fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, pull the turn
signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are
on, this light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.
