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

For information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior Lamps .

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 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 .

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.

Headlamps

The lever on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps.

(Exterior Lamps): Turn the outside part of the lever with the symbol on it, to operate the lamps.

The exterior lamps control has three positions:

(Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps, together with the following.

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

AUTO: Turn the control to this position to turn the headlamps, taillamps and parking lamps on and off automatically while the ignition is on, by sensing how dark it is outside. For more information see Automatic Headlamp System later in this section.

Headlamps On Reminder

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

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you.

When the high beams are on, a light on the instrument panel cluster will come on if the ignition is in ON.

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

Flash-to-Pass Feature

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.
