This indicator comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to ON (II)

any other time, it means there is a
problem with the DRL. There may
also be a problem with the high
beam headlights.
The lef t or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicator does not
blink or blinks rapidly, it usually
means one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see page ). Replace
the bulb as soon as possible, since
other drivers cannot see that you are
signaling.
This indicator comes on with the
high beam headlights. For more
inf ormation, see page .
If it stays on lit af ter you have f ully
released the parking brake while
the engine is running, or if it
comes on while driving, there
could be a problem with the brake
system. For more inf ormation, see

On Canadian models, this indicator
comes on with reduced brightness
when the Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) are on (see page ).
This indicator comes on if the hatch
is not closed tightly.
When you press the Hazard Warning
button, both turn signal indicators
blink. All turn signals on the outside
