Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has one upward (for right) and one

direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, slightly raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash and release the lever.
The turn signal ashes automatically three times.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers will not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-97and for burned-out bulbs.

Headlamp Aiming
The visual optical headlamp aiming system has been

may mean the vertical aim of your headlamps needs
to be adjusted.

dealer/retailer for service if the headlamps need to
be adjusted. It is possible however, to re-aim the
headlamps as described.The vehicle should:

a light colored wall.
Have all four tires on a level surface which is level
all the way to the wall.
Be placed so it is perpendicular to the wall or other
at surface.
Not have any snow, ice, or mud on it.

headlamp aiming is being performed.
Normally loaded with a full tank of fuel and one
person or 160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the driver seat.
