Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever up or down. The lever
returns to its original position when the turn is completed.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash in
the direction of the

To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever until
the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until the lane
change is completed. The lever will return to its original
position when released.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or lane
change, or that fail to work, may indicate a burned-out
signal bulb or fuse. Other drivers will not see the signal.
SeeFront Turn Signal and Parking Lamps on page 5-47
andTaillamps, Turn Signal, Sidemarker, Stoplamps and
Back-up Lamps on page 5-48for turn signal bulb
replacement procedures. Also seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-88for location of fuses.

than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).

push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you.
When the high beams are
on, a light on the

also will be on if the
ignition is in ON.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal lever toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps
momentarily to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass.
