2009 Cadillac XLR Owners Manual - Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever



Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever

The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following:

: Turn and Lane-Change Signals

: Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

: Fog Lamps

: Cruise Control

: Exterior Lamps Control

• Flash-to-Pass Feature.

Information for these features is on the pages following.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals

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

Move the multifunction lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.

Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete.

The lever returns to its starting position whenever it is released.

If after signaling a turn or a lane change the arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a signal bulb could be burned out.

Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out, check the fuses.

Turn Signal on Chime

A chime will remind you if the turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km) of driving.

If you need to leave the turn signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

Push the turn signal lever all the way forward to change the headlamps from low beam to high beam.

When the high beams are on, this light  appears on the instrument panel cluster.

Pull the lever rearward to change the headlamps back to low beam.

Flash-to-Pass

This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to use. When you do, the following will occur:

  • If the low-beam headlamps are on, the high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn them off.
  • If the headlamps are on high-beam, they will switch to low-beam. To return to high beam, push the lever away from you.
