For 1990-2009 cars

To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down, past the detent. The lever returns to its starting position when released.

An arrow on the instrument panel cluster flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change.

To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash, and then release the lever. Do not move the lever past the detent. The turn signal will automatically flash three times and turn off.

To cancel it before turning, move the lever slightly in either direction. Do not past the detent.

If the turn signal is moved up or down and left engaged, the headlamps and taillamps will remain on and the battery could be drained.
