DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch unifies the following functions:
^
Windshield washer/wiper.
^
headlamp dimmer and flash-to-pass.
^
turn signal.
^
Hazard flasher.
The multi-function switch assembly is mounted on the steering column tube assembly.
WIPER SWITCH
The wiper switch, located in the knob at the end of the turn signal lever, operates as follows:
^
To operate the wiper, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position.
^
In addition to O (OFF), there are two fixed speed wiper positions: LO, (low), HI, (high) and an interval (INT) position.
^
The positions are selected by rotating the knob actuator relative to the turn signal lever.
^
If interval is selected, the time between wiper cycles will decrease as the knob is rotated away from OFF position.
^
The time interval will increase as the knob is rotated toward OFF position.
^
The time interval between wipes will vary depending on the knob's position from OFF position.
WASHER SWITCH
The washer switch is located at the end of the turn signal lever.
^
To operate the washer, the ignition switch must be in the RUN position.
^
To actuate the washer, push the end of the turn signal lever in toward the steering column.
^
Release the washer switch to turn off the washer.
^
The windshield wiper blades will continue to operate for a few wipes and then automatically return to the previous wiper speed setting (OFF,
LO, HI or INT).
^
Washer operation is available in all positions of wiper operation.
HEADLAMP CONTROL
The turn signal lever also operates the headlamp dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass feature.
NOTE: Excessive force used to hold the turn signal lever in the flash-to-pass function followed by quick release may result in incorrect headlamp
dimmer selection of high beam. The driver must be cautioned to avoid this condition.
