or down. The lever returns automatically when the turn
is complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display
(HUD), a right or left turn signal will appear in the HUD
area when making turns or lane changes. See
Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-21for more
information.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete. The lever returns to its original
position when it is released.

Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other drivers will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. SeeReplacement Bulbs on page 5-59,Front
Turn Signal, Parking and Fog Lamps on page 5-56,
andTaillamps, Turn Signal, and Stoplamps on
page 5-57. Also, check the fuse for burned-out bulbs if a
turn signal arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-112for
location information.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than 0.75 of a mile
(1.21 km), a warning chime will sound and the TURN
SIGNAL ON warning message will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal
On” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-72.

Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever you set your
cruise control.
The light will go out when the cruise control is turned
off. SeeCruise Control on page 3-11for more
information.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
whenever the high-beam

See “Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer” under
Exterior Lamps on page 3-15for additional information.
Fuel Gage
The fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank when the
ignition is on.
When the indicator nears empty, there is still a little fuel
left, but you should get more soon.
Here are four things owners usually ask about the fuel
gage. All these situations are normal and do not
indicate a problem with the fuel gage:
At the gas station the pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
It takes more or less fuel to ll up than the gage
indicates. For example, the gage reads half full,
but it took more or less than half the tank’s capacity
to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate full when the ignition is
turned off.
