4-4

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
(Auto Signal)
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
flashes 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 flash to
signal a lane change. Release the lever and the turn
signal automatically flashes three times. If more flashes
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 flash
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. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on
page 6‑101.
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.
Flash-to-Pass
To use the flash-to-pass feature, briefly pull the turn
signal lever toward you. The high-beam indicator
flashes to indicate to the other driver that you intend to
pass. If the low-beam headlamps are off and the fog
lamps are on, the fog lamps flash.

When it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps
go off, and the front turn signal lamps will take over.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness knob
is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel
Brightness
on page 4‑15for more information.
If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control
is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑52.
Turning the exterior lamp control to off a second
time, or turning on the headlamps will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message in the DIC. If the
parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead,
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will continue
to be displayed.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when needed. To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control to the
off position or shift into P (Park). The DRL will stay off
until the control is toggled again or the vehicle is shifted
out of P (Park).
This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in the
United States.
Fog Lamps
Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the multifunction
lever next to the exterior lamp control.
#
(Fog Lamps) : Turning the band to this position will
turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp light will
appear on the instrument panel cluster to indicate that
the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn on again when you switch to
low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps
to be on along with the fog lamps.

lamps are left on, they will automatically time-out after
about 10 minutes. To reset it, all of the above lamps
must be turned off or the ignition key on.

{WARNING:

field of view, it may take you more time to see
