Turn and Lane-Change Signals

The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.

To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.

To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.

An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.

As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
flash more quickly than normal, a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a blown fuse.
See Instrument Panel Fuse Block on page 5-106
and Underhood Fuse Block on page 5-109.

Turn Signal On Chime

If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the
turn signal and the message TURN SIGNAL ON will
also appear in the DIC. To turn the chime and message
off, move the turn signal lever to the off position.
