Turn Signa l Indica tors
The arrow s will flash in unison with the exterior
turn signal, when using the turn signal lever.
There are step s that you can take to slow down an
impend ing overheat cond ition. If you r air cond itioning is
on, turn it off. The air cond itioning system adds heat to
the engine cooling system and turning off the A/ C
rem oves this heat. You can also turn the Temperatu re
control to maxim um heat, the Mod e control to Floor and
the Fan control to High. This allow s the heater core to act
as a supplement to the rad iator and aid s in rem oving heat
from the engine cooling system .
