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
position turns on the headlights. If you leave the lights on with the
ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I)
or LOCK (0), you will hear a
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.
The blue high beam indicator will
light (see page 56). To flash the high beams, pull the
turn signal lever back lightly, then
release it. The high beams will come

The high beams will stay on for as long as you hold the lever back, no

Operatin g th e Radi o
The ignition switch must be in
ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) to operate the audio system. Turn the
system on by pushing the PWR/
VOL knob. Adjust the volume by turning the same knob.
The band and frequency that the
radio was last tuned to is displayed.
To change bands, press the AM/FM
1 .
2 button. On the FM band, ST will
be displayed if the station is broad-
casting in stereo. Stereo reproduc-
tion on AM is not available. You can use any of three methods to
find radio stations on the selected
band: TUNE, SEEK, or the Presetbuttons.
TUN E — Use the TUNE bar to tune
the radio to a desired frequency. Press the side of the bar to tune
to a higher frequency, and the side to tune to a lower
frequency. The frequency numbers
will start to change rapidly. Release the bar when the display reaches the
desired frequency. To change the
frequency in small increments, press
and release the TUNE bar quickly. SEE

searches the band for a station with
a strong signal. To activate it, press the SEEK bar on either the or
side, then release it.
Depending on which side you press,
the system scans upward or down- ward from the current frequency. It

AUT O SELEC T — If you are
traveling far from home and can no
longer receive the stations you
preset, you can use the Auto Select
feature to find stations in the local

area.

To activate Auto Select, press the
A. SEL/RPT button. A. SEL will
flash in the display, and the system will go into scan mode for several
seconds. It automatically scans both
bands, looking for stations with
strong signals. It stores the frequen-
cies of six AM stations and twelve
FM stations in the preset buttons.
You can then use the preset buttons
to select those stations.
If you are in a remote area, AutoSelect may not find six strong AM
stations or twelve strong FM stations.
If this happens, you will see a "0"
displayed when you press any preset
button that does not have a station

stored.
With Auto Select on, you cannot
manually store any frequencies in
the preset buttons. If you do not like
the stations found by Auto Select,
you can use the TUNE and SEEK
functions to find other stations. Auto Select does not erase the
frequencies that you preset pre-
viously. When you return home, turn
off Auto Select by pressing the
A. SEL/RPT button. The preset buttons will then select the fre-
quencies you originally set.
