Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
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.

Operation of Lights

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.
