Horn
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes
your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer and Passing Signal
Lighting Operation
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
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 tum, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically.
To sound the horn, press one of the horn symbols on
your steering wheel.
?ttm Signal/Multifunction Lever
An &ow 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 mows 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 the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in
the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your
Geo, see “Servicing Your
Air Bag-Equipped Geo” in the Index.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits
by fuses, circuit breakers and thermal links
in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse,
you can borrow one. Just pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along without -- like the
radio or cigarette lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the
size you need. Replace it as soon as you can.
Before replacing
a fuse, turn every vehicle electrical
switch
off.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and the engine compartment
fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
This fuse box is under the left side of the instrument
panel.
The fuses here protect each separate circuit
including headlamps.
If you have electrical failure,
check here first.
