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. 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. 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. 2-45
