turn signal bulb GMC JIMMY 1997 Owner's Manual

Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has twio upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you
to signal a turn or LI lane change.
To signal a tum, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished. the lever will return automatically.\

An 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
unt.il the 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 ac.oid an
accident.
If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal
a turn, check the fuse (see "Fuses and Circuit
Breakers"
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps.
a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even
if ;I turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they
are working.
Headlamp HighLow Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low-beam to high or
high
to low. pull the multifunction lever all the way
toward you. Then release
it.

When towing a trailer, the ~~rrows on your instrument
panel
will flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
itre burned out. Thus. you may think drivers behind you
are seeing your signal when they are not. It's important
to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs arc
still working.
Driving On Grades
On a long uphill grade, shift down and reducc your
speed
to around 45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the
possibility
of engine and transmission ovc.rheating.
If you have an automatic transmission. you should use
DRIVE
(D) when towing a trailer. Operating your
vehicle
in DRIVE (D) when towing a trailer will
minimize heat buildup and extend the life
of your
trrmsmission. Or:
if you have ;1 manual transmission. it's
better not to use FIFTH (5) gear. just drive in
FOURTH (4) gear (or, as you need to, a I~MW gear). Whcn
towins at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
consider the following: Engine coolant will boil at a
lower temperature than at normal altitudes. If yo^^ turn
your engine off immediately after towing
at high altitude
on steep uphill grades, your \:ellicle may show signs
similar to engine overheating.
To avoid this. let the
engine
r~~n while parked (preferably on level grout1d)
with the automatic transmission in PARK (Pj (or the
1manuaI transmission out of
gear and the parking brake
applied) 1'01-
;I few minutes before turning the engine off.
If you do get the overheat warning. see "Engine
Overheating"
in the Index.
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle. with a trailer
attached.
on a hill. If something goes wrong, your rig
could start
to move. People can be injured, and both
yo~~r vehicle and the trailer can
be damaged.
