FIRST
STOP

Turn Signals

Push the turn signal lever down to
signal a left turn, and up for a right

turn. The indicator and
appropriate signal lights will blink.
The lever will return automatically
to its original position when the
steering wheel is returned to

straight ahead.
For lane changing, you can signal by pushing the lever part way up
or down (to the first stop) and holding it there; the lever will return
to its original position when you release it. If either turn signal
indicator lights up but does not blink, blinks faster than usual, or
does not light up at all, check for a burned out bulb or fuse.
FIRST POSITION
Turn
SECOND
POSITION

Headlights

Turn the light switch to the first position ( ) for taillights, side

marker lights, position lights,

license plate lights, and

instrument panel lights. Turn to the second position ( ) to raise

and add the headlights.

When the switch is returned from the second to the first position,
the headlights will go off but will not retract; they retract when the light switch is turned to OFF.
If the driver's door is opened when the light switch is turned to
either "on" position, a chime will sound to remind you to turn off
your lights.
If you wish to raise or retract the headlights when the light switch is
off (to use them as a passing signal for example), you may do so bypushing the headlight motor switch, located on the left side of the
instrument panel; see page 32 for instructions on its use.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the headlight switch or headlight motor switch if
anyone's hands are near the headlights. FIRST
