If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out.To adjust the headlight beam level, turn
the dial.
The following list shows examples of prop-
er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-
er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-
tion so that the beam level is the same

higher the number of the dial position, the
lower the headlight beam level.

proper level, or your headlights may
dazzle other road users.Loading condition
