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 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, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete the lane change. The lever will return
by itself when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t 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 the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 429and for burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high, push the turn signal lever away from you.
To change from high beam to low beam, pull the
turn signal lever towards you. To ash the
high beams from low beam, pull the turn signal
lever all the way towards you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
