Instrument Panel Indicators Turn Signal and Hazard Warning Indicators The left or right turn signal indicator blinks when you signal a lane change or turn. If an indicator does not blink or blinks rapidly, it usually means one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out (see pages 246 and 247 ). Replace the bulb as soon as possible, since other drivers cannot see that you are signaling. When you press the hazard warning button, both turn signal indicators blink. All turn signals on the outside of the vehicle should flash. Door and Tailgate Open Monitor If the tailgate is swung open or is not closed tightly, you will hear six beeps and see the indicator blinking when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. The beeper also sounds and the indicator blinks when you move the shift lever out of Park or neutral position. The tailgate open indicator does not monitor the tailgate when it is dropped open. If the driver does not fasten the seat belt and the tailgate is swung open, the seat belt reminder alarm will sound at first, then the tailgate open reminder beeper will sound. For more information on the tailgate, see page 91 . Instruments and Controls This monitor includes two functions; the door open indicator and the tailgate open indicator. This monitor works with the ignition switch in any position. The specific door indicator comes on in this monitor if any door is not closed tightly. The tailgate indicator comes on when the tailgate is swung open or if it is not closed completely after you swing it closed. 61
