4-35 Turn Signals
The same lever that controls the headlights also con-
trols the turn signals.
The ignition switch must be ON for the turn signals
to function. Move the lever up or down to activate the
turn signals. The turn signals will self-cancel after a
turn is completed. If the indicator continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever to the OFF (mid-
dle) position.
Lane Change Signals
To signal a lane change, move the turn signal lever
slightly and hold it in position. The lever will return to
the OFF (middle) position when released.
Green arrow indicators on the instrument panel indi-
cate which turn signal is operating. If an indicator
stays ON and does not flash or if it flashes abnormally,
one or more of the turn signal bulbs may be burned out
and will require replacement.Daytime Running Lights (DRL)Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving condi-
tions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. The DRL system
will make your low-beam headlights turn OFF when:
 The headlight switch is ON.
 The parking brake is engaged.
 The engine stops.

WARNING - Halogen Bulbs
 Wear eye protection when changing a bulb.
Allow the bulb to cool before handling it.
 Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas. If
broken, a halogen bulb will explode and will
produce flying pieces of glass.
 Always handle halogen bulbs carefully to
avoid scratches and abrasion. If the bulbs
are lit, avoid contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare hands. Residual oil
may cause the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be operated only
when installed in the headlight assembly.
 If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked,
replace it immediately and carefully dispose
it.
