EAU12410
Dimmer switch “LIGHTS”
Set the switch to “HI” for the high beam
and to “LO” for the low beam.
EAU12420
Turn signal switch “TURN”
To signal a right-hand turn, push this
switch to the right. To signal a left-hand
turn, push the switch to the left. When
released, the switch returns to the cen-
ter position.
Since this model is equipped with a
self-canceling system, the turn signal
lights will self-cancel after the vehicle
has traveled both about 150 m (490 ft)
and for approximately 15 seconds.
However, the turn signal lights can also
be canceled manually by pushing the
switch in after it has returned to the cen-
ter position.
NOTE:
The self-canceling system only oper-
ates when the vehicle is moving, so that
the turn signal lights will not self-cancel
while you are stopped at an intersec-
tion.

Horn switch “HORN”

NOTE:
After switching to “RES”, approximately
3.0 L (0.79 US gal) (0.66 Imp.gal) of
fuel remain in the fuel tank.
