Turn Signal and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head
-Up Display
(HUD), an arrow will also appear in the display area
to indicate the direction of the turn or lane change.
See ªHead
-Up Display (HUD)º in the Index for
more information.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever will return by itself when you
release it.
If the arrows flash very fast as you signal a turn or a
lane change, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won't see your turn signal.

2-37
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 fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and for burned
-out bulbs.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 0.8 miles
(1.3 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the turn
signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever
to the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam
or high beam to low beam, pull the turn signal lever
toward you and release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light located on the
instrument panel cluster will
also be on.If your vehicle is equipped with the Head
-Up Display
(HUD), an arrow will also appear in the display area to
indicate the high beams are on (See ªHead
-Up Display
(HUD)º in Index for more information).
Flash-To-Pass Feature
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to
signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you briefly to
flash
-to-pass.
If the headlamps are off or on low beam, the high
-beam
headlamps will turn on. They'll stay on as long as you
hold the lever toward you and the high
-beam indicator
on the instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the
lever to turn the high
-beam headlamps off.

Compact Disc Errors
CHECK CD: If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road is smoother.

The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.

The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error number, write it down and provide it to your dealer
when reporting the problem.Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (Option)
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.
NOTICE:
Place large objects appropriately in the trunk so
that they will not come into contact with the CD
changer. Damage could result that wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.

3-36
You must first load the magazine with discs before
you can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays
holds one disc. Slide the button on the top of the
magazine and gently pull out one of the trays. Load the
trays from top to bottom, placing a disc on the tray label
side up. If you load a disc with the label side down, the
disc will not play and an error will occur. Gently push
the tray back into the magazine slot until it locks into
place. 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.

3-37
Close the door by sliding it all the way to the right.
When the door is closed, the changer will begin
checking for discs in the magazine. This will continue
for up to one and a half minutes depending on the
number of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open (to the left). The
magazine will automatically eject. Remember to keep
the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust
from getting inside the changer.Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the
changer and the door is closed, the CD changer stack
symbol will appear on the radio display. If the CD
changer is checking the magazine for CDs, the CD
changer stack symbol will flash on the display until the
changer is ready to play. When a CD begins playing, the
disc and track number will be displayed. The disc
numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.
All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejecting the magazine.
