there until you complete your lane change.
The lever will return by itself when you release it.
A warning chime signal will come on if you have left
your turn signal on for more than 2/3 mile (1 km).As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
then check the fuse. SeeFuses on page 446.
