For front-wiper operation, rotate the ring on the left to the desired interval, low- or high-speed position. When in the intermittent position, rotate the control up for fast and down for slow intervals. The speed-sensitive feature also allows the wipers to adjust automatically as the vehicle's speed changes when the wiper control is set on the intermittent settings. Push the end of the stalk briefly for a single wipe (no wash). Push and hold to activate the washer. The ring on the right operates the rearwindow wiper. Rotate the control to INT 2 (slow interval), INT 1 (fast interval), or washer position.

In an emergency, apply continuous force on the brake to prevent wheel lock when braking on slippery surfaces - do not pump your brakes. Any pulsation or noise you may feel or hear is normal. 2H (2WD HIGH) delivers power to the rear wheels only, and is the optimum position for smoothness and fuel economy. A4WD (4X4 AUTO) automatically delivers power to all four wheels, as required, for increased traction. 4H (4X4 HIGH) provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive power to all four wheels. 4L (4X4 LOW) provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive when extra power at reduced speeds is required. To shift from 2H to A4WD or 4H, move the control at any forward speed up to 55 mph. To shift from A4WD to 4H, move the control at a stop or while driving at any speed. To shift to or from 4L, bring the vehicle to a stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Next, place the gearshift in N (Neutral), and then move the control to 4L. When shifting from one four-wheel drive position to the next, a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal and no service should be required.
