blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicato rs do not blink,
or if they blink rapidly, it usu ally
means one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see pages and ).
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,
since other drivers cannot see that
you are signaling.

indicators blink. All turn signals on
the outside of the vehicle should
flash. This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either the
or position. If you turn the
ignition switch to the ACCESSORY
(I) or the LOCK (0) position without
turning of f the light switch, this
indicator will remain on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
This indicator is located in the f uel
gauge. It comes on as a reminder
that you must ref uel soon.
When the indicator comes on, there
are about 2.72 U.S. gal (10.3
)of
f uel remaining in the tank bef ore the
