TURN SIGNAL
The turn signal lever should be moved UP to signal
a right turn or DOWN to signal a left turn. The green
turn signal indicators in the instrument panel will signal
the direction as will the front and rear turn signal
lamps. When the turn is completed, the lever will auto­
matically return to neutral position.
Get into the habit of turning
on the signal well in ad­
vance of where you plan to
turn, other drivers will ap­
preciate your consideration.

A circuit breaker in the light control switch protects
the head lamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. Where
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker intermittently
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the cause
is found and eliminated.

dash are:
