The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following:
• | Turn and Lane-Change Signals |
• | Headlamps |
• | Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer |
• | Flash-to-Pass Feature |
For additional information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior Lamps .
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, raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete the 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 do not go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit Breakers and for burned-out bulbs.
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high beam to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way towards you. Then release it.
When the high beams are on, this light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on.
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.
The exterior lamp control is located on the turn signal/multifunction lever.
