Turn Signal/Headlight Beam Change

The turn signal is activated by the lever un-
der the left side of the steering wheel. If
the vehicle is equipped with a cruise con-
trol, the controls for this are located on the
turn signal lever. See page 218 for more in-
formation about the cruise control.

The standard turn signal switch is not self
cancelling. It must be manually returned to
neutral position after making a turn. A self
cancelling turn signal is available as an op-
tion.

For lane changes, the lever does not need
to be moved to a locking position. Move
the lever partway off the normal position
until a resistance is felt. The turn signal is
now activated and the lever will return to
normal position when it is released.

The headlight flash function is activated by
pulling the turn signal lever toward the
steering wheel. The high beam will stay on
until the lever is released.

To change between high and low beam,
pull the lever all the way toward the steer-
ing wheel. When a slight clicking sound is
heard, release the lever.

NOTE! When switching from high to low
beam for oncoming traffic, release the lever
as soon as the beam change is made. Hold-
ing the lever up makes the headlight flash
function stay engaged.
