The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following:

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 the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers and for burned-out bulbs.

Turn Signal On Chime

If the turn signal is left on for about 1 mile (1.6 km), a chime will sound to let you know you left the turn signal on.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high beam to low, push the turn signal lever away from you. Then release it.

When the high beams are on, this light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on.

Flash-to-Pass

This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.

To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you until the high-beam headlamps come on, then release the lever to turn them off.

Headlamps

The exterior lamp control is located in the middle of the turn signal/multifunction lever.

(Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the control with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps.

The exterior lamp control has the following four positions:

(Off): Turning the control to this position turns off all lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). On some vehicles, this position activates the automatic headlamp system.

AUTO (Automatic): If your turn signal lever has this position, turning the control to this position puts the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending upon how much light is available outside of the vehicle.

(Parking Lamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the parking lamps together with the following:

(Headlamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights.

Lamps On Reminder

If you open the driver's door with the ignition off and the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
