Turn Signal and Lane Change lndicator
The turn signal has
two upward (for right
signal) and two
downward
(for left
signal) positions.
These positions allow
you to signal a turn or
a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn
is
finished, the lever will return automatically.
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.
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.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t
go on at all when you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs
and a blown fuse (see “Fuses” in
the Index).

Warning Lights andl Indicators
This section describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause
an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to your warning lights and gages 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.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle's functions. Often gages and warning lights work together
to let you
know when there's
a problem with your vehicle.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving,
or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to
do about it. Please follow the manual's advice.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
The orange anti-lock
brake system warning light is located near
the top right corner
of
the instrument cluster
mi
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay
on for several seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light’’
earlier in this part.
Water in Fuel Light
The red Water in Fuel
light, if
you have one,
is located near the
middle right edge of
the instrument cluster,
just below the turn
signal and lane change
indicator.
This light will come on
to warn you if there is water in the diesel fuel
system.
For more information on how this light works, see “Diesel Fuel
Requirements and Fuel System”
in the Index.
