If the turn signal stays on after you turn, move the lever back to the center (off) position. For lane changes, move the lever far enough to signal but not to latch. The lever will return to the off position when you release it. High Beams To turn on the high beams, turn the headlamp control knob to the headlamp ON position and push the turn signal lever away from you until it latches. When the high beams are ON, the high beam indicator light on the instrument panel comes on. To turn off the high beams, pull the lever toward you until it latches. The high beam indicator light turns off. Flashing the Lights To flash the headlamps, pull the lever toward you for a moment and then release it. The headlamps will flash whether the headlamp knob is in the on or off position. Windshield Wipers and Washer To turn on the windshield wipers, the ignition key must be turned to the ON or ACC position. Rotate the end of the lever away from you to activate the wipers. The first seven detents are interval wipe positions, the eighth detent is the LO position and the ninth detent is the HI position. To turn the wipers off, turn the knob toward you to the OFF position. 92
