Lighting 6-5
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 any burned out bulbs
replaced. If a bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10‑45.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal
has been on for more than 1.2 km
(0.75 miles) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal
on for more than 1.2 km
(0.75 miles), turn off the signal and
then turn it back on.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.
