Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the turn
signals, headlight beam selection and passing lights. The
multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
corresponding turn signal indicator in the instrument
cluster flashes to show proper operation of the front and
rear turn signal lights.
Moving the multifunction lever up or down also causes
the corresponding turn signal indicator in the outside
mirror (if so equipped) to flash. For details, refer to
“Outside Mirrors with Turn Signal & Approach Light-
ing” under “Mirrors” in this Section.
You can also signal a lane change by moving the multi-
function lever partially up or down without moving
beyond the detent. Releasing the lever at the detent will
provide three flashes.
If either indicator has a very fast flash rate, check for an
inoperative outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light
when the multifunction lever is moved, see your autho-
rized dealer for service.

detent, past the intermittent settings for low speed wiper
operation, or to the second detent past the intermittent
settings for high speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to the wind-
shield wipers may result if the wiper switch is left in
any position other than off.
Intermittent Wiper System

make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause be-
tween cycles desirable. Rotate the end of the multifunc-

regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle
every second to a maximum of approximately 23 seconds
between cycles.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to an accident. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of
the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Lightly push the multifunction lever inward (toward the

To use the washer, push the multifunction lever inward
completely (toward the steering column) and hold it for
as long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the windshield wiper
control is in the delay range, the wipers will operate for
two wipe cycles after releasing the lever and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the windshield wiper is
turned off, the wipers will operate for three wipe cycles
and then turn off.
