To adjust the headlight beam level, turn

the dial.

To signal a turn, push the headlight/

turn signal lever up or down to position

The following list shows examples of prop-

er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-

er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-

tion so that the beam level is the same

as the one obtained according to the list

when only the driver is in the vehicle. The

higher the number of the dial position, the

lower the headlight beam level.

The key must be in the “ON” position.

The lever automatically returns after you

make a turn, but you may have to return

it by hand after you change lanes.

To signal a lane change, move the lever

up or down to the pressure point (position

2) and hold it.

Always keep the headlight beam at the

proper level, or your headlights may

dazzle other road users.

If the turn signal indicator lights (green

lights) on the instrument panel flash faster

than normal, a front or rear turn signal

bulb is burned out.
