Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has an upward (for right) and a
downward (for left) position. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is ®nished, the lever will return
automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ¯ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ¯ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
don't ¯ash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won't see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-89.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
First, you must have the headlamps on. For high beams,
push the turn signal lever toward the instrument panel.
While the high beams
are on, a light on the
instrument panel cluster
also will be on. It will go off
when you switch to low
beam.
To switch back to low beams, pull the lever toward you.
Flash to Pass
With the lever in the low-beam position, pull the lever
toward you to momentarily switch to high beam
(to signal that you are going to pass). When you release
the lever, the headlamps will return to low-beam
operation.

Accessory Power Outlets
If your vehicle has an accessory power outlet, you can
plug in auxiliary electrical equipment.
The accessory power outlet is located in the center
console near the parking brake.
To use the outlet, open the cover. When not using it,
always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
These circuits are protected by a fuse and have
maximum current levels.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible
to the power accessory outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem see your dealer for
additional information on the power accessory plugs.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
To use the lighter, if equipped, the ignition key must be
in ON or ACC. Push the lighter in all the way and let
go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself.
Pull the door to open the ashtray. To remove it, press
down on the tab and pull the ashtray out. To reinstall the
ashtray, push it in until the tab latches.
The rear ashtray, if equipped, is on the back of the
center console. Push on the left side of the ashtray.
The ashtray will turn clockwise for usage. To remove the
rear ashtray, press down on the tab and pull it out.
Notice:If you put papers or other ¯ammable items
in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking
materials could ignite them and possibly damage
your vehicle. Never put ¯ammable items in the
ashtray.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Don't add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your dealer ®rst. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle and
the damage wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your vehicle, see
Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-60.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by fuses, circuit breakers and thermal links
in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
®res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the metallic band inside the fuse. If the band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't
have a spare fuse, you can borrow one. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without Ð like the radio or cigarette lighter Ð and use
its fuse, if it is the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Before replacing a fuse, turn every vehicle electrical
switch off.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument
panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse block.
5-89

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
This fuse block is located under the driver's side of
the instrument panel. The fuses here protect each
separate circuit including headlamps. There are spare
fuses inside the fuse box. If you have electrical
failure, check here ®rst.
