Headlamp Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch, mounted to the lock cylinder housing, unifies the following functions:
^
windshield washer/wiper.
^
headlamp flash-to-pass and high beam.
^
turn signal.
NORMAL OPERATION
The headlamp dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass feature operate in the following manner:
^
Select high beam by pushing the lever away from the driver to the STOP position.
^
To change the headlamp beam back, pull lever toward driver until the switch is in the central position.
^
To operate the flash-to-pass feature, pull the lever gently toward the driver. When the lever is released, it will return to the LO beam position.
^
If driving without headlamps on, use of the flash-to-pass feature will turn on the high beams until the turn signal lever is released.
^
If the headlamps are turned on, the low and high beams will be on until the turn signal lever is released.
NOTE: Excessive force used to hold the turn signal lever in the flash-to-pass function followed by quick release may result in incorrect selection
of high beam. The driver must be cautioned to avoid this condition.
