Tail Lamp: Description and Operation
The taillamps, backup lamps and turn signal lamps are all part of the taillamp.Turning on the headlamps will turn on the taillamps. When the brake pedal is pushed down, the taillamps glow brighter to serve as stoplamps.
The turn signals are controlled by the turn signal lever on the left side of the steering column. Moving the lever all the way up or down (past the detent) will turn on the turn signals. When the turn is completed, the lever will return to neutral and the turn signals will stop flashing. If the brake pedal is held down when a turn is signaled, one side will flash and the other will stay on brightly.
For changing lanes or shallow turns where the steering wheel does not turn far enough to cancel the signal, move the lever only to the first detent. When the lever is released, it will return to neutral and the turn signals will cancel.
