A green arrow on the
instrument panel
will
flash in the direction of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The
lever
will return by itself when you release it.
If for some reason, your turn signal is left on; the Driver Information
Center will display
"TURN SIGNAL ON" (after driving about a mile) to
remind you to turn it
off.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don't flash but just
stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won't see your ~
turn signal.

“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their
own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your
own state or
provincial highway authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.
Headlight High-Low Beam
To change the
headlights from low
‘beam to high or high to
low,
pull the turn signal
lever all the way toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue light
on the instrument
panel also will be on.
Flash-To-Pass Feature
This lets you use your high beam headlights to signal a driver in front of
you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlights are off.
To use it, pull the multifunction lever toward you. When you do:

If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer will return to zero after
999.9 miles (1609
km). If your vehicle. is Canadian or Export, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 1999.9
km (1242 miles).
Odometer
You may wonder what happens if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. The new one will read the correct mileage. This is because your
car’s computer has stored the mileage in memory.
WARNING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow

Road Sensing Suspension
The Road Sensing Suspension automatically controls the ride of your
vehicle. The system controls damping
forces in the shock absorbers and
struts
in response to various road and driving conditions. The system is
capable
of making these changes within milli-seconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control and
monitor the system. The computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration
sensors, wheel to body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive
signals,
and determines optimum strut valving or (suspension stiffness) for
your current operating conditions. The computer a1,so receives feedback

“Drive. ahead.” Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads
.for situations that might affect your passing patterns.
If you have any
doubt ,whatsoever about making a successful. pass, wait for a.better
time.
.Watch- for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines.
’If you can see .a
sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your
pass.
A broken center line usually .indicates it’s all right to pass
‘(providing the road ahead isclear.):Never cross
a solid line on your
side
of the lane or a double solid line, even if ‘the road. seems empty of
approaching traffic.
Do not :get
too closelo the,vehicle you want.to pass while you’re
awaiting- an opportunity. For .one lthmg, following too closely reduces
your
area ,of vision, especially if you’re .following a ‘larger vehicle. Also,
you-won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahe:ad suddenly slows or
stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.
When it looks like a .chance: to ,pass
is coming. up, start to. accelerate
.but stay in the.right 1ane.and.don’t.get too dose. Time your move
so
.you wiIl.be .increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
.lane.
If the way is clear to pass, you will have a .‘‘running, start” that
more than makes up for the distance you would lose
by .dropping back.
And
if something happensto.cause:youto cancel your pass, you need I
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
-If other cars are 1ined.u~ to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you:,pull outto pass
the slow vehicle. -Remember
to ‘glance over. your shoulder-and check
theblind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving.out
of the right .lane to pass,. When you
:are far:enough ahead
of ,the passed vehicle to see its front in. your
inside mirror, activate your right. lane change signal
and move back I
into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is
convex.
The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you than itreally is.)
