2-36 Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal lever has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash 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 flash. 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 lane change, if the arrow flashes
faster than normal, 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 for burned
-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
A chime will sound if you leave your turn signal on for
more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
When the high beams are
on, this light will appear on
the instrument panel.
To change your headlamps from low beam to high
beam, push the lever away from you. To change back to
low beam, pull the lever toward you.
To flash your high beams, pull the lever toward you and
release. The lever will return to the low
-beam position.
Fog lamps, (if equipped), will not be illuminated while
the headlamps are in the high
-beam mode.

2-80 Oil Warning Light
If you have a problem with
your oil, this light may stay
on after you start your
engine or come on when
you are driving.
This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could
be low on oil or could have some other oil problem.
Have your vehicle serviced immediately.
The oil light could also come on when the ignition is on
but the engine is not running. This is normal. The light
comes on as a test to show you it's working, but the light
should go out when you turn the ignition to ON. If it
doesn't come on with the ignition on, you may have a
problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away.CAUTION:
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
If you do, your engine can become so hot that
it catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.

2-81 Service Vehicle Soon Light
This light will come on
briefly when the ignition is
turned to ON to show that
the bulb is working.
This light indicates problems with your vehicle that are
not related to emissions.
These problems may not be obvious and may affect
vehicle performance and durability. Consult your dealer
for necessary repairs to maintain vehicle performance.
Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition is
turned to ON, the LOW
OIL light will briefly
come on.
If the light does not flash, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there's a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the engine off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.)
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for
an extended period of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan.

2-82 Change Oil Light
The CHANGE OIL light
should come on briefly as a
bulb check when you start
the engine. If the light
doesn't come on, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on after
you start the engine, have the oil changed.
For additional information see ªEngine Oil, When to
Changeº in the Index. To reset the GM Oil Life
System, see ªHow to Reset the Change Oil Lightº
in the Index.
Security Light
This light will come on
when you turn the key to
START and will stay on
until the engine starts.
If you're driving and the SECURITY light comes on
and stays on, your Passlock

system is not working
properly. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock and
you should see your dealer. For more information, see
ªPasslockº in the Index.
Cruise Light
The CRUISE light comes
on whenever you set your
cruise control. See ªCruise
Controlº in the Index.

2-83 Low Washer Fluid Light
This light appears when
your vehicle is low on
windshield washer fluid.
This light will come on when your ignition is turned on
to check the bulb. It will go out after a few seconds. If
the light does not come on when you start your vehicle,
the bulb may need to be replaced. See your dealer to
have it fixed right away.
If this light appears while you're driving, your vehicle is
low on washer fluid. Be sure to refill the tank as soon as
possible so that you'll have washer fluid available when
you need it.
Fuel Gage
United States Canada
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get more soon.

2-84
Here are four things that some owners ask about. All
these things are normal and do not indicate a problem
with the fuel gage:

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.

It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
takes more (or less) than half the fuel tank's capacity
to fill it.

The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.

The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.Low Fuel Warning Light
United States Canada
If your vehicle is low on fuel, this warning light near the
fuel gage will come on.
It will also come on for a few seconds when you first
turn on the ignition as a check to show you it's working.
If it doesn't come on then, the bulb may need to be
replaced. See your dealer to have it fixed right away.

4-41 Making Turns
NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could
cause the trailer to come in contact with the
vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid
making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you're turning with a trailer, make wider
turns than normal. Do this so your trailer won't
strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers.
Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need a
different turn signal flasher and/or extra wiring. Check
with your dealer. The arrows on your instrument panel
will flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change.
Properly hooked up, the trailer lamps will also flash,
telling other drivers you're about to turn, change lanes
or stop.
When towing a trailer, the arrows on your instrument
panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. Thus, you may think drivers behind you
are seeing your signal when they are not. It's important
to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are
still working.
