For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
The turn signal is self±cancelling after a turn, but after a
lane change, you may have to cancel it by hand. You can
also signal a lane change by moving the turn signal lever
partway and holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster
than normal, it indicates that the front or rear turn signal
bulb has burned out. If this indicator light does not come
on, the fuse or the indicator light itself has probably
failed.
