toward you. It will return to the normal
position when released. The head-
light switch does not need to be on to
use this flashing feature.Turn Signals
The ignition switch must be on for the
turn signals to function. To turn on the
turn signals, move the lever up or
down. Green arrow indicators on the
instrument panel indicate which turn
signal is operating. They will self-can-
cel after a turn is completed. If the
indicator continues to flash after a
turn, manually return the lever to the
OFF (middle) position.Lane change signals
To signal a lane change, move the
turn signal lever slightly and hold it in
position. The lever will return to the
OFF (center) position 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 and will require replacement.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-60

WARNING- Working on the lights
Prior to working on the light,
firmly apply the parking brake
and ensure that the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position to avoid sudden move-
ment of the vehicle and burning
your fingers or receiving an
electric shock.
WARNING- Halogen Bulbs
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surized gas that will produce
flying pieces of glass if bro-
ken.
Always handle them carefully,
and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit. A bulb should be
operated only when installed
in a headlight.
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool before handling
it.
