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.

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

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.

As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows flash
rapidly, 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 then check

the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).

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. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever
to the off position.
