Turn 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.
An arrow on the instrument
cluster 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 flash
faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out.
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 fuses and check for burned
-out
bulbs. (See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.)

-beam
headlamps are off and you have the optional fog lamps

If you turn off the ignition or radio with a disc in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or system, the disc will start playing where it was
stopped. If you press EJECT but don't remove the disc,
the player will pull the disc back in to protect it after
about one minute. If you leave a compact disc in the
player while listening to the radio, it may become warm.
Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a trunk-mounted
CD changer. It is located in the rear center storage
compartment. See ªRear Storage Compartmentsº in the
Index for more information.
With the optional compact disc changer, you can play up
to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played
using the trays supplied in the magazine. The small discs
(8 cm) can be played only with specially designed trays.
NOTICE:
Heavy objects in the center storage area which may
shift or slide while driving could damage your CD
changer. Protect your CD changer by not placing
heavy, moveable objects in the center storage area.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. Press the button on the back of the magazine and
pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from
bottom to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down.
If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
to 12 discs in the magazine.

Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide
open the door of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push
the magazine into the changer in the direction of the
arrow marked on top of the magazine.Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the
door is left partially open, the changer will not operate
and an error will occur. When the door is closed, the
changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine.
This will continue for up to two minutes depending on
the number of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.

try again.)

The CD changer door is open. Completely close the
changer door to restore normal operation.

the trays.

corrected, please contact your dealer.
