downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.

the direction of the
turn or lane change.

until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
If the arrow ashes faster than normal 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.
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 for burned-out bulbs and then check the
fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-103.

Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness
The control for the instrument panel lights is located on
the exterior lamps control. Your parking lamps must
be on for this feature to work. Turn the control clockwise
to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control all the way
clockwise.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may be equipped with courtesy lamps that
will come on and stay on for a set time whenever
you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after
you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don’t open
a door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.Entry lighting includes a feature called theater dimming.
With theater dimming, the lamps don’t just turn off at the
end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly dim after the
delay time until they go out. The delay time is canceled if
you turn the ignition key to ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive,
which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on unless
a door is opened.
Delayed Entry Lighting
Delayed entry lighting illuminates the interior for a
period of time after all the doors have been closed.
The ignition must be off for delayed entry lighting
to work. Immediately after all the doors have been
closed, the delayed entry lighting feature will continue to
work until one of the following occurs:
The ignition is moved to ON,
the doors are locked, or
an illumination period of 25 seconds has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be canceled and the
interior lamps will remain on because a door is open.
