includes the following:
G: Turn and Lane Change Signals
53: Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
N: Windshield Wipers
L: Windshield Washer

Information for these features is on the pages following.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument

direction of the turn or
lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash
to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete.
The lever returns to its starting position when it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane change the arrows
ash rapidly or do not come on, a signal bulb may be
burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. For bulb replacement, seeTaillamps,
Turn Signal, Stoplamps and Back-up Lamps on
page 5-52. For a blown fuse or circuit breaker,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-110.

Turn Signal On Chime
If a turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each ash of the turn
signal and the message TURN SIGNAL will also appear

the turn signal lever to the off position.
See “TURN SIGNAL” underDIC Warnings and
