Turn Signal Controls
Moving the turn signal lever down ( Fig. 5.12 ) turns
on the left-turn signal; moving it up turns on the right-
turn signal.
When a turn signal is activated, a green indicator
light flashes on the right or left side of the instrument
cluster.
The turn signal lever automatically returns to the
neutral position (self-cancels) when the steering
wheel returns to the straight ahead position after a
turn. To manually cancel the signal, move the lever
to the neutral position.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Controls
NOTICE
Do not attempt to manually move the windshield
wiper arms. Wiper motor damage will occur if the
arms are forcibly moved.
The wipers are operated by a rotary dial located at
the end of the turn signal lever. See
Fig. 5.13 . There
are five delay settings (marked on the dial by lines of
increasing length) and two steady speed settings, LO
and HI.
Rotating the control dial away from you (counter-
clockwise) turns the wipers on. If they are already
on, rotating the handle further forward increases the
speed of the wipers through the various delay set-
tings, then to LO and HI.
Rotating the control dial toward you (clockwise)
causes the wipers to slow down. Rotating the control
dial clockwise as far as it will go turns the wipers off.
The windshield washers are operated by a yellow
button at the end of the turn signal lever. To operate
the washers, press and hold the button in until you
want the washers to stop.
Horn Controls
NOTE: It is possible to have both types of horn
installed on one vehicle.
Air Horn
The air horn is controlled by a wire lanyard hanging
just inboard of the driver’s door. See
Fig. 5.14 . Pull
downward on the lanyard to sound the air horn.
Electric Horn
The electric horn button is located in the center of
the steering wheel. To sound the horn, press down
on the button. See
Fig. 5.15 . The horn will sound as
long as the button is pressed, up to 60 seconds.
