The lef t or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If the indicators do not blink
or blink rapidly, it usually means one
of the turn signal bulbs is burned out
(see page ). Replace the bulb as

On the Touring model, you will also
see a ‘‘FUEL LOW’’ message in the
multi-inf ormation display.
