IndiGator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
po&iom. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or a lane change.
To Signal a Turn:
M.ove the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the maws dcdt flash but just shy on, a
signal buJb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your tun signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
amid an accident. If the green arrows
don’t pp on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see the
under Fuses E. Circait Blreakeus) and for
burned-out bulbs.
A warning chime will repnind you if you
have left your turn signal on faor more

Oil Warning Light
If you have a problem with your oil, this
light may stay on after you start
your
engine, or come on when you are
driving. This indicates that oil
is not
going through your engine quickly
enough to
keep it lubricated. The
engine
could be low on oil, or could
have some other oil problem. Have it
fixed right away.
3 00
The oil light could also come on in three
other situations:
When the ignition is but the engine
is not running, the light will come on
as a test to show you it is working,
but the light
will go out when you
turn the ignition to Start. If it doesn’t
come on with the ignition on, you
may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb.
Have it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling
at
a stop, the light may blink on and
off. This is normal.
If you make a hard stop, the light may
come on for ‘a moment. This is
normal.
Don’t keep driving if the oil
pressure is low. If you do,
your engine can become so hot that
it catches he. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have yaw vehicle

To Clean the HUD:
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft,
clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then dry it.
Do not spray cleaner
directly on the lens, because the cleaner
fluid could leak inside the unit if you
do.
If You Can’t See the HUD Image
When the Ignition is On:
Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer control close
enough to
HI?
Is the HUD image adjusted to the

Fuses & Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected
from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring
itself. This greatly reduces the chance
of
fires caused by electrical problems.
Some fuses are located in a fuse block
in the glove box as shown above.
To
locate the fuse block, pull down the
cover. See the diagram later in this
section.
Another set
of fuses is located in the
component center, under the
instrument panel.
Additional fuses are located in the
underhood electrical centers on the
right and left sides of the engine
compartment.
270
Spare fuses and a fuse puller are located
in the glove box fuse block cover.
Place the wide end of the fuse puller
over the plastic end of the fuse. Squeeze
the ends over the fuse and pull it out.
To identify and check fuses, refer to the
charts on the following pages. Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse.
If the band is broken or
melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
