SWITCHES

For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for
low beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch
is off.

SWITCHES
37
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
The turn signal is self±cancelling after a turn, but after a lane
change, you may have to cancel it by hand. You can also
signal a lane change by moving the turn signal lever partway
and holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster than
normal, it indicates that the front or rear turn signal bulb has
burned out. If this indicator light does not come on,
the fuse
or the indicator light itself has probably failed.
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
To turn on the fog lights, turn the switch to the ºONº
position. The fog lights come on only when the headlights
are on low beam.

WINDSHIELD WIPER ANDWASHER SWITCH
To turn the wipers on, move the lever down. To make the
washer squirt, push the button on the end of the lever.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
For mist wiper operation (a single wipe), pull the lever toward
you and release it.
The interval adjuster lets you adjust the wiping time interval
between wiper sweeps if the wiper lever is in the ºINTº
position. Tw ist the lever upward to increase the time between
sweeps, and downward to decrease it.
Also, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times
after the washer squirts even with the lever in the ºOFFº
position. The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly
empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see ºAdding
washer fluidº on page 396.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which
could block your vision.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may
scratch the glass.
