The left or right turn signal light blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the light does not blink or
blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out
(see page 203). Replace the bulb as
soon as possible, since other drivers
cannot see that you are signalling.
When you turn on the Hazard
Warning switch, both turn signal
lights blink. All turn signals on the
outside of the car should flash. Hig

The rotating switch on the left lever
controls the lights. Turning this switch to the position turns
on the parking lights, taillights,
instrument panel lights, side-marker
lights, and rear license plate lights. Turning the switch to the

reminder chime when you open the driver's door.
To change between low beams and high beams, pull the turn signal lever
until you hear a click, then let go.

turn signal lever back lightly, then
release it. The high beams will come
