front and rear turn signal lamps will ash on
and off.
The hazard warning

The hazard warning ashers work no matter what

Press the button to make the front and rear turn
signal lamps ash on and off. Press the button
again to turn the ashers off.
While the hazard warning ashers are on, the turn
signals do not work.
Other Warning Devices

up at the side of the road about 300 feet
(100 m) behind your vehicle.
Horn
Press near or on the horn symbols on your steering
wheel pad to sound the horn.
Tilt Wheel

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or

An arrow on the

will ash in the
direction of the turn or

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.Rapid ashing of arrows when signaling for a turn
or lane change may be caused by a burned-out
signal bulb. Other driver’s will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 455for
more information.

(1.2 km), a warning chime will sound and the
TURN SIGNAL ON message will appear on the
