seconds when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. It will

switch f rom the ON (II) position to
the ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0)
position. The lef t 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 pages and ).
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,

button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of

This indicator normally comes on f or
a f ew seconds when you turn the

ABS. If this happens, have your
vehicle checked at a dealer. With
this indicator on, your vehicle still
has normal braking ability but no
anti-lock f unction. For more
inf ormation, see page .
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK ABS
