GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 37
DIMMER CONTROLS
The dimmer controls are part of the headlight switch and
are located on the left side of the instrument panel.
Dimmer Controls
With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the right
dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of the
instrument panel lights. Rotating the left dimmer control
will adjust the interior and ambient light levels.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located at the end of the
lever.
Refer to “Rear Window Wiper/Washer” in this section for
further information on using the rear window wiper/
washer.
Front Wiper Control
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first detent past
the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation.
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent
past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
Front Wiper Operation
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make
a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between
cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent position for one of four intermittent settings. The
delay cycle can be set anywhere between 1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the
vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay
times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wipers will start and continue to operate
for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released.
Then, the intermittent interval previously selected will
resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will
operate for two or three wipe cycles. Then, the wipers will
turn off.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and
allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
