The instruments and controls are des-
cribed in 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
i s recommended for driving normally in
rainy weather or snow.
When the switch is pulled out fully, the
wipers operate at full speed. Full speed is
only recommended when driving in heavy
rain or when driving at high speed when
i t is raining.
When the switch is pressed in fully, the
wiper blades stop in their parking position.
The windscreen washers are operated by
turning the switch clockwise. When re-
l eased, the switch automatically returns to
i ts starting position and shuts off the
washers. The washers can be used without
the windscreen wipers. The fluid con-
tainer for the washers is located in the
engine compartment and holds about 1 1/2
litres (2 3/4 Imp. pints= 31/4 US pints).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2 Fog light switch
On certain markets the Volvo 164 is fitted
with 2 extra fog lights. These are switched
on by pulling out the fog light switch, pro-
viding that either the parking or dipped-
beam lights are on.
Because of regulations on certain mar-
kets, the fog lights are connected across
the parking and headlights or only the
parking lights.
3 Choke control
The choke control is used when the en-
gine is started from cold. When the con-
trol is pulled out about 10-15 mm (1/2"),
the idling speed is increased. Pulling the
control out further, enriches the fuel-air
mixture. This steps up the idling speed.
