Turn Signal Lever

Fig. 2, Turn Signal Controls
When a turn signal is activated, a green indicator arrow flashes at the far left or far right of the instrument panel.
The lever automatically returns to the neutral position (self-cancels the switch) when the steering wheel returns to the straight ahead position after a turn. To cancel the signal manually, move the lever to the neutral position.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Controls
Notice: Do not move the wiper arms manually. Wiper motor damage will occur if the arms are moved.
The wipers are operated by a rotary switch in the wiper control dial, which is on the end of the turn signal lever. See Fig.. There are five delay settings, marked on the dial by lines of increasing length, and two steady speed settings, LO and HI.
Rotate the control dial forward to turn the wipers on, or speed them up.
Rotate the control dial backward to slow the wipers down, or turn them off.

Rotating the control dial forward (in a counterclockwise direction) turns the wipers on. If they are already on, rotating the handle further forward increases the speed of the wipers through the various delay settings, and to the LO and HI settings.
Rotating the control dial in the opposite direction (clockwise) causes the wipers to slow down. Rotating the control dial clockwise as far as it will go (to the OFF setting) turns the wipers off.
The washers are operated by a yellow button at the very end of the turn signal lever. To operate the washers, press the button in and hold it.
Headlight High Beams
Push the turn signal lever forward, towards the windshield, to turn on the high-beam headlights. Pull the turn signal lever back to its original position to turn them off. See FIg..
Move the lever forward to turn on the high beams. Move the lever back to its original position to turn them off.
Move the lever back toward the steering wheel to flash the high beams momentarily.

Fig. 4, Headlight High Beams
When the high beam headlights are on, a blue light illuminates on the instrument panel between the tachometer and speedometer. For vehicles built to operate in the United States, switching on the high beams will switch off the road lights.
Note: The ignition switch must be on for the high beams to work.
With the headlight low beams on, pull the lever backward, towards the steering wheel, to flash the high beams momentarily.
The headlight low beams remain on continuously during high beam operation. If the low beam headlights are turned off using the headlight switch, the high beams turn off also.
Hazard Warning Lights
The hazard warning light flasher is a red rocker switch located on the top of the multifunction switch module. See Fig.. When the warning lights are activated, all of the turn signal lights (front, side, and rear) and the two green indicator arrows on the instrument panel will blink on and off.
To activate the hazard warning lights, press down on the upper part of the rocker switch (towards the dash). To deactivate the hazard warning lights, press down on the lower part of the rocker switch (towards the steering wheel).
