How do I change my turn signals to blink 3 times?

It's currently programmed for one blink. I see settings for wiper frequency, miles vs kilometers, time, date, etc. But I don't see a place in my settings where I can change the turn signal frequency. Can someone tell me where I can find it?

For the non NAV cars the procedure is to press in on the end of the stalk and then go to a certain screen (can't remember exaclty which one) but if you look in the manual it will be in there.

The instructions are in your owner's manual but here is the procedure to change it.Keep in mind I took this from a pdf. so I hope this helps some.

Press the lever as far as the resistance point.

Turn signal flashes once.
You can set whether the turn signal is to flash once or three times.

1. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 35.

2. Briefly press the button in the turn indicator lever repeatedly until "SET/INFO" is displayed.

3. Press and hold the button until the display changes.

4. Briefly press the button repeatedly until the symbol and "SET" are displayed.

5. Press and hold the button until the display changes.

6. Briefly press the button repeatedly until the display shows the illustrated symbol, arrow.

7. Press and hold the button until the display changes.

8. Briefly press the button to select:
1X Brief indication of turn.



3X Triple turn signal.
Triple turn signal.



9.Press and hold the button until the display changes. The setting is stored.

Thanks for this. I couldn't remember the settings after I set them at the dealer.

I set mine to 3 blinks using the stalk but it seems to forget my settings after I turn the car off.

The memory for these settings is retained in the key fobs.

So you must go through the program steps outlined by JCR1960 with each fob.

As others have said...check the instructions in the manual. They are right, although they appear quite confusing at first. I have to pull my manual out everytime I need to reset them for some reason, a fact that I am in no way ashamed about!!! There is very little on this car (that I don't access regularly) that I expect to remember.

And for those of you with the convenience package, just remember that the key needs to be in the ignition to change the settings that are key fob dependant. It took me several days and multiple attempts to change the blinker setting before I figured this out.

Put fob in but do not start the car

I think you must put the fob key in the slot and push the start button without pushing in the clutch to program the fob to remember the settings.
