Turn signals and lane change sig- nals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on the
turn signals, move the lever up or down
(A). Green arrow indicators on the instru-
ment panel indicate which turn signal is
operating. They will self-cancel after a
turn is completed. If the indicator contin-
ues to flash after a turn, manually return
the lever to the OFF position.To signal a lane change, move the turn
signal lever slightly and hold it in position
(B). The lever will return to the OFF posi-tion when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out andwill require replacement.
✽✽
NOTICE
If an indicator flash is abnormally quick
or slow, a bulb may be burned out or
have a poor electrical connection in the
circuit.

✽✽ NOTICE
After heavy rain or washing, headlight
and taillight lenses could appear frosty.This condition is caused by the tempera-
ture difference between the lamp inside
and outside. This is similar to the con-
densation on your windows inside yourvehicle during rain and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the water
leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, havethe vehicle checked by an authorized
