2006 HONDA ODYSSEY bulb

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
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle f lash.This indicator is located in the f uel
gauge. It comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon.
When the indicator comes on, there
is about 1.93 U.S. gal (7.3
)of fuel
remaining in the tank bef ore the
needle reaches E. There is a small
reserve of f uel remaining in the tank
when the needle does reach E.
On Touring models, you will also see
a ‘‘FUEL LOW’’ message in the
multi-inf ormation display.
