For high beam, push the lever away
from you. Pull it toward you for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it
further back.
A blue light in the instrument panel indi-
cates high beam is on.
The headlight flasher works even when
the headlight switch is off.For signaling turns, move the lever up
or down in the conventional manner.

The turn signal is self-cancelling after a
turn, but after a lane change, you may
have to cancel it by hand. You can signal
a lane change by moving the turn signal
lever partway and holding it there. If the
green light in the instrument panel flashes
faster than normal, it indicates that the
front or rear turn signal bulb has burned
out.To turn on the emergency flashers,
push the switch.
All the turn signal lights will flash.
Turn on the emergency flashers to warn
other drivers if your vehicle must be
stopped where it might be a traffic hazard.
Always pull as far off the road as possible.
The turn signal light switch will not work
when the emergency flashers are operat-
ing.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the switch
on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
