If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-100
.

Turn Signal On Chime

If either one of the turn signals are left on and you have
drove more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer

To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam,
push the turn signal/multifunction lever toward the
front of the vehicle.

This light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on
if the high beam lamps
are turned on while
the ignition is on.

To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal lever toward the rear of the vehicle.

Flash-to-Pass

With the turn signal lever in the low-beam position,
pull the lever toward you momentarily to switch
to high-beam, to signal that you are going to pass.

If the headlamps are on, they will return to low-beam
when the lever is released.

Windshield Wipers

Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before
using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, gently
loosen or thaw them. Damaged wiper blades may
not clear the windshield well, making it harder to see
and drive safely. If the blades do become damaged,
install new blades or blade inserts. For more information,
see Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-47.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Turn the band with the wiper symbol to control the
windshield wipers.
