TURN SIGNALS  
To adjust the headlight beam level, turn  
the dial.  
To signal a turn, push the headlight/  
turn signal lever up or down to position  
1.  
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.
