Turn and Lane-Change Signals
(Auto Signal)
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 multifunction lever all
the way up or down. When the turn is nished,
the lever will return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash 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 ash. Release
the lever and the turn signal will automatically ash
three times. If more ashes are desired, continue
to hold the lever.
If you signal a turn or a lane change and the
arrows ash faster than normal, a signal bulb may
be burned out.
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 the fuses and check
for burned-out bulbs. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 419.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime will remind you if you leave the turn
signal on for more than three-quarters of a mile
(1.2 km) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for more
than three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.

Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or may begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass
this inspection could prevent you from getting a
vehicle registration.
Here are some things you need to know to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine light is on or not working properly.
To perform a check engine light bulb check with the
keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in
the passenger compartment. SeeIgnition Positions
on page 90. Press the bottom of the Acc. button on
the instrument panel and hold the button down for
ve seconds. The instrument panel, including the
check engine light, will light up and the ignition will
be on, but the engine will not start — if you pressthe bottom of the Acc. button only briey, less than
ve seconds, the accessory power mode will be
turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb check,
be sure to press and release the Acc. button again
to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the
vehicle’s battery.
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that
critical emission control systems have not been
completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle
would be considered not ready for inspection.
This can happen if you have recently replaced
the battery or if the battery has run down.
The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate
critical emission control systems during normal
driving. This may take several days of routine
driving. If you have done this and your vehicle
still does not pass the inspection for lack of
OBD system readiness, your dealer can prepare
the vehicle for inspection.
