This indicator  reminds you that  the
exterior  lights are on. It comes  on
when  the light  switch  is in  either  the
or  position.  If you  turn  the
ignition  switch to the  ACCESSORY
(I)  or LOCK  (0) position  without
turning  off  the  light  switch,  this
indicator  will stay  on. A reminder
chime  will also  sound  when you open
the  driver’s  door.
When  you press  the hazard  warning
button,  both turn signal  indicato rs
and  all turn  signals  on the  outside  of
the  vehicle  flash. If 
this  indicator  comes on when  the
ignition  switch is turned  to the  ON
(II)  position  and the parking  brake is
rele ased,  it means  there is a problem
in  a circuit.  Have your vehicle
checked  by your  dealer.
This  indicator  comes on with  the
high  beam  headlights.  For more
info rmation,  see page  .
This  indicator  also comes  on with
reduced  brightness  when the
daytime  running lights (DRL)  are on
(see  page  ).
The 
left  or right  turn signal  indicator
blinks  when  you  signal  a lane  change
or  turn.  If an  indicator  does not blink
or  blinks  rapidly,  it usually  means
one  of the  turn  signal  bulbs is
burned out (see page ). Replace
the bulb as soon as possible, since
other drivers cannot see that you are
signaling. 238
