Turn Signal Operation Move the lever upward to signal a turn to the right. TILT/TELESCOPE LEVER The steering column can be telescoped or wheel tilted with lever (3, Figure 32-2) in front of the turn signal lever. An indicator in the top, center of the instrument panel will illuminate to indicate the turn direction selected. Refer to Instrument Panel and Indicator Lights in this section. Adjust the tilt of the steering wheel by pulling the le- ver toward the steering wheel and moving the wheel to the desired angle.
Releasing the lever will lock the wheel in the desired location. Move the lever downward to signal a turn to the left. Adjust the telescope function by pushing the lever forward to unlock. After positioning, release the lever to the lock position. NOTE: The turn signal will not automatically stop after the turn has been completed. High Beam Headlight Operation Moving the lever inward toward the rear of the cab changes the headlights to high beam.
