If
you
have
a
trailer
towing
option
with
added
wiring
for
the
trailer
lamps,
the
signal
indicator
will
flash
at
a
normal
rate
even
if
a
turn
signal
bulb
is
burned
out.
Check
the
front
and
rear
turn
signal
lamps
regularly
to
make
sure
they are working.
Turn
Signal
Reminder
Chime
If
either
turn
signal is left on for more
than
3/4
of a
mile,
a
chime
will
sound
to
let
the
driver
know
to turn it
off.
If
you
need to leave the
signal
on
for more
than
3/4
of
a
mile,
turn
off
the
signal
and
then
turn
it back
on.
Headlamp
High/Low
Beam
Changer
To change
the
headlamps
from high
to
low
beam,
or
low
to
high,
simply
pull
the
, ? u r n
signal
lever
all
the
way
toward
you.
Then
release
it.
When
the
high
beams are
on,
this
light
on
the
instrument
cluster
will
also
be
on.
Windshield
Wipers
You
control
the
windshield
wipers
by
turning
the
band
marked
WIPER.
For
a
single
wiper
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
wiper
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
LOW,
the
shorter
the
delay
time.
For
steady
wiper
cycles:
For
steady
wiping at low
speed,
turn
the
band
away
from
you
to
the
LOW
position.
For
high-speed
wiping,
turn
the
band
further
to
HIGH.
To
stop
the
wipers,
move
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.
