2009 CHEVROLET CORVETTE turn signal bulb

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
(Auto Signal)
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
Move the the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash to
signal a lane change. Release the lever and the turn
signal automatically ashes three times. If more ashes
are desired, continue to hold the lever.
The lever returns to its starting position when it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrows
ash rapidly or do not come on, a signal bulb may be
burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-103.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal has been on for more
than three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for more than
three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and
then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high,
push the turn signal lever all the way forward. To change
from high to low beam, pull the lever rearward.
While the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be lit.
