Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer

To change the headlamps from low to high, simply push
the turn signal lever back. Then release it. To change the
headlamps from high to low, pull the lever forward.

When the high beams are
on, this light, on the
instrument panel cluster and
the optional HUD display,
will also be on.

Flash-to-Pass

When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you
to momentarily switch on the high beams (to signal that
you are going to pass). When you release the lever, they
will turn off.

Windshield Wipers

You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
marked WIPER.

For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on mist longer.

For delayed wiping cycles, you can set the wiper speed
for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be
very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to
choose the delay time. The closer to LO (low), the
shorter the delay time.

For steady wiping cycles, at low speed, turn the band
away from you to the LO position. For high

speed

wiping, turn the band further to HI (high). To stop the
wipers, turn the band to OFF.

Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you
from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
