While the light switch  

is on, rotate the dial 

downward to dim 

the instrument panel 

illumination. Rotate the

position to stop the wipers. For a single wipe, pull the lever toward you. To spray 

washer fluid, press and hold the button at the end of the lever.

To operate the rear wiper, rotate the end of the knob upward to the intermittent, 

continuous, or wash position. When the rear wiper is off, rotate the knob downward

Headlight Beam 
Leveler 

(if equipped)

Your vehicle’s High-Intensity 

Discharge (HID) headlights 

generate more light than 

conventional halogen 

headlights. Therefore, a driver 

of an oncoming vehicle may 

experience too much glare 

when your headlight beam 

height adjustment is high 

because the vehicle is carrying 

a heavy load. The headlight 

beam leveler can be used to 

adjust beam height to avoid 

such a condition. To lower the 

beam, turn the knob to the 

higher numbers.
