controls the operation of the headlights,
parking lights, automatic headlights — if
equipped, instrument panel lights, instru-
ment panel light dimming, interior lights, fog
lights — if equipped, and headlight leveling
— if equipped.Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the

switch to the second detent for headlight,
parking light, and instrument panel light op-
eration.

dedicated position below the headlight as-
sembly. DRLs are active when the Low Beams
are not and when the vehicle is shifted into
any position other than PARK.

beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.
Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the head-
lights on or off according to ambient light
levels. To turn the system on, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise to the last detent
for automatic headlight operation. When the
system is on, the headlight time delay feature
is also on. This means the headlights will stay
on for up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.

The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.

the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.

Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end
of the lever upward to the third detent past
the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the en-
gine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to
the wiper motor may occur when the ve-
hicle is restarted.
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with the
blades lifted from the windshield.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable pause between cycles, desirable. Ro-tate 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 wiper 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.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
WARNING!
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a
single wipe to clear off road mist or spray
from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is
held up, the wipers will continue to operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash func-
tion must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If Equipped
A rotary switch on the center portion of the
windshield wiper/washer lever controls the
operation of the rear wiper/washer function.
