Clearance and parking lights can be flashed by
pressing the button located on the lever tip.
Windshield Washer Control (5)
Push the external ring at the end of the lever
toward the steering column to activate the
windshield washers. The wipers come ON and
continue wiping for a few seconds after the ring
is released.
WARNING
Before using the windshield washers in cold
weather, heat the windshield with the
defroster to prevent icing and reduced
visibility.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the pump mechanism, do
not use the windshield washer when the fluid
level is very low or empty.
Windshield Wipers (6)
Turn the lever counterclockwise to activate the
windshield wipers. The first position activates
the wipers intermittently. The second position is
the slow speed and the third position is for high
speed wiping.
CAUTION
To avoid scratching the windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
To avoid damaging the wiper motor, free
wiper blades that may be frozen to the
windshield before operating the wipers.
