The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicato rs do not blink,

ignition switch to the ACCESSORY
(I) or the LOCK (0) position without
turning of f the light switch, this
indicator will remain on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
This indicator is located in the f uel
gauge. It comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon.
When the indicator comes on, there
are about 2.72 U.S. gal (10.3
)of
f uel remaining in the tank bef ore the
needle reaches E. There is a small
reserve of f uel remaining in the tank
when the needle does reach E.
