Turn signal/headlight dimmer switch
lever and windshield wiper/washer
lever
There are two levers just behind the
steering wheel:
The lever on the left side is for the turn
signal/headlight dimmer switch.
The lever on the right side is for the
windshield wiper/washer system.
The turn signals and the windshield
wipers only work with the ignition on.
Turn signals \ - /
Lever up - right turn signal
Lever down - left turn signal
The green turn signal indicator light in
the speedometer dial comes on when
you operate the lever.
The turn signals are cancelled automati-
cally when you have completed a turn
(like driving around a corner), and the
steering wheel returns to the straight-
ahead position.
If a turn signal is defective, the control
light flashes at about twice the normal
frequency. Have your Authorized VW
18 Dealer check and repair it for you.
Lane changer
To indicate your intention when chang-
ing lanes on expressways, slightly lift
or depress the lever to an intermediate
position. The lever will return to the OFF
position when released.

Headlight dimmer "~\s
Dim the headlights by pulling the lever
toward the steeringwheel. The blue indi-
cator light in the speedometer dial will
light up when the high beams are on.
Windshield wipers W I P E ^ ^
The windshield wiping system operates
at two speeds: low and high.
Lifting lever to first stop - low speed
Lifting lever to second stop - high speed
If you just slightly lift the lever before
reaching the first stop, the wipers will
wipe as long as the lever is held in this
position and come to a stop when re-
leased.
To give you full battery power while
starting the engine, operating windshield
wipers will stop automatically at this
moment. „•*••»

You can operate the washer from any
selected wiping position.
Avoid running the wiper blades over a
dry windshield . . . you may scratch the
glass. Spray washer fluid on it first.
