The instrument and controls are described
i n more detail in the following pages with
a reference to the numbers in the picture
opposite. Note that variations may occur
between different markets.
1 Windscreen wiper and
washer switch
The windscreen wipers are operated elec-
trically and can be adjusted to two speeds.
Normal speed is attained by pulling the
switch out to the first position. This speed
is recommended for normal driving in rainy
weather or snow. When the switch is pull-
ed out fully, the wipers operate at full
speed. Full speed is only recommended
when driving in heavy rain or when driving
at high speed in the rain.
When the switch is pressed fully in, the
wiper blades stop in their parking position.
The windscreen washers are operated by
turning the switch clockwise. The switch
automatically returns to its initial position
on being released. The fluid container for
the washers is located in the engine com-
partment and holds about 1'/2 litres (2
I mp.pints = 3'/2 US pints).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 Choke control
The choke control is used when the en-
gine is started from cold. When the control
i s pulled out about 10-15 mm ('/2"), the
idling speed is increased. Pulling the con-
trol out further enriches the fuel-air mix-
ture. The warning lamp (4J) on the in-
strument panel lights when the choke is
pulled out.
3 Lighting switch
The headlights are operated by means of
a push-pull type switch on the dashboard
as well as a lever (5) on the steering
column.
All the lights are extinguished when the
li ghting switch is pushed fully in. Pulling it
out to the half-way position, switches on
the parking lights, and when it is fully out,
the full or dipped headlights are switched
on, depending on the position of the lever
(5).
Since the lighting system is not connected
across the ignition switch, the lights will

function irrespective of whether the igni-
tion key is in position or not.
