2005 HONDA ODYSSEY bulb

The lef t or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicators do not blink
or blink 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 as a
reminder that you must ref uel soon.
On the Touring model, you will also
see a ‘‘FUEL LOW’’ message in the
multi-inf ormation display.
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle f lash.
