OPERATION
The headlamp dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass feature, also operated by the multi-function switch operate as follows:
^
Select high beam by moving the multi-function switch away from the driver to the stop.
^
Release the multi-function switch to maintain high beams.
^
Select low beam by moving the multi-function switch toward driver from high beam position.
^
Release the multi-function switch to maintain low beams.
^
Pull the multi-function switch gently toward driver to operate flash-to-pass feature.

^
Using the flash-to-pass feature without the headlamp bulbs on will turn on the high beams until the multi-function switch is released.

NOTE: Excessive force used to hold the multi-function switch in the flash-to-pass function followed by quick release may result in incorrect
headlamp bulb dimmer selection of high beam. The driver must be cautioned to avoid this condition.
