Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will flash in the
direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
flash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers will not see your turn signal.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
then check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 356.

ignition is turned to ON.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal lever toward you.

toward you until the high-beam headlamps

Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better
visibility in foggy or misty conditions. The band
located on the middle of the turn signal/
multifunction lever controls the fog lamps.
While using the fog lamps, the ignition must be
turned to ON and the low-beam headlamps
or parking lamps must be on.
Turn the band to ON to turn the fog lamps on. An
indicator light will come on in the secondary
information center on the hatchback or in the
instrument panel cluster on the sedan, when the
fog lamps are on. SeeFog Lamp Light on
page 185.
Turn the band to OFF to turn the fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will also turn off when the
high-beam headlamps are turned on. When the
high-beam headlamps are turned off, the fog lamps
will turn on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
