Windshield Wipers
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control lever down one level for intermittent,
two levels for low, or three levels for high speed. Return the lever to the “OFF”
position to stop the wipers. For a single wipe, move the lever up. To spray washer
fluid, pull and hold the lever toward you.
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 to wash and wipe the rear window.
Daytime Running Lights
Daytime running lights are standard on your vehicle. Only a reduced brightness
high beam will be automatically turned on when the engine has started, the
parking brake is fully released and the light switch is in the “OFF” or “
”
position. The brightness of the illumination of the high beam headlights\
is reduced
by the daytime running light system. You must always switch on your headlights
when it is dark outside by turning the light switch to the “
” position.
