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
don’t flash but just stay on, check the turn signal
flasher and circuit breaker. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 341.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the circuit breaker and for
burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high
beam or high to low beam, pull the multifunction
lever all the way toward you, then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster will also be on.

Low Oil Level Light
Your vehicle may have
a low oil level light.
This light should come on as a check, when you
start your engine. If the light fails to come on, have
it repaired as soon as possible so you will be
aware when the oil level is low.
Vehicles that have Caterpillar
®diesel engines may
not have a low oil level light. In this case, the light
will neither come on as a check when you start your
engine, nor will it come on to indicate a low oil level.
If this light comes on and stays on, it means your
engine is low on oil. You need to check the oil level
right away. SeeEngine Oil (Caterpillar
®DieselEngine) on page 268orEngine Oil (Gasoline
Engine) on page 268orEngine Oil (DURAMAX
®/
Isuzu Diesel Engine) on page 272for further
information.
Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.
Change Engine Oil Light
The change engine oil
light should come on
briefly as a bulb
check when you start
the engine. If the
light does not come on,
have it serviced.
If the change engine oil light comes on and stays
on after you start the engine, have the oil
changed.
