airbag will inflate even if there are no
occupants on that side of the vehicle.

This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either theor position. If you turn the
ignition switch to the ACCESSORY

turning of f the light switch, this
indicator will remain on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
The lef t or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an 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.
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
blink. All turn signals on the outside
of the vehicle should f lash.
This indicator also comes on with
reduced brightness when the
daytime running lights (DRL) are on
(see page ). This indicator comes on with the
high beam headlights. See pagef or inf ormation on the headlight
controls. If this indicator comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
(II) position and the parking brake is
released, it means there is a problem
in a circuit. Have your vehicle
checked by your dealer.
