Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
First, you must have the headlamps on. For high beams,
push the turn signal lever toward the instrument
panel.
While the high beams are
on, a light on the
instrument panel cluster
also will be on. It will go
off when you switch to
low beam.
To switch back to low beams, pull the lever toward you.
Flash to Pass
With the lever in the low-beam position, pull the lever
toward you to momentarily switch to high beam (to
signal that you are going to pass). When you release
the lever, the headlamps will return to low-beam
operation.
Windshield Wipers
Use this lever located on the right side of the steering
wheel to operate the windshield wipers and washers.
OFF:Move the lever to OFF to turn off the windshield
wipers.
INT (Intermittent):Move the stalk to INT (Intermittent)
then turn the inner band and choose the delay you
want. Turn the inner band up for longer intervals
between wiper cycles. Turn the band down for shorter
intervals.

LO (Low Speed):For steady wiping at low speed,
move the stalk down to LO.
HI (High Speed):For higher speed wiping, move the
stalk down further to HI.
L(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to this
position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the
windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield
wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes,
hold the band at this position longer.
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.
Windshield Washer
To wash your windshield, pull the stalk with the wiper
symbol on it toward you one time. When you release the
stalk, the washers will stop. The wiper will continue
wiping for about three cycles and will either stop or will
resume the speed you were using before. See
Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-37.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer ¯uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
