Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two

to signai 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

To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
If you move the lever all the way up or down, and the
arrow flashes at twice the normal rate, a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers may not 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 or a blown fuse
