until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete the lane change. The lever will return

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 380and for burned-out bulbs.
