The vehicle's turn signals are controlled using  
the left-side steering wheel lever. The turn  
signals flash three times or continuously,  
depending on how far up or down the lever is  
moved.

help provide extra illumination in curves and  
intersections. Depending on equipment level,  
vehicles with LED3 headlights* may be equip-  
ped with Active Bending Lights.  
This automatic flashing sequence can  
be interrupted by immediately moving  
the lever in the opposite direction.
