pages with a reference to the numbers in

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 washer are operated by
turning the switch clockwise.
l eased, the switch automatically returns to
its 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
3
litres (2 /4 Imp. pints = 3'/4 US pints).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 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 ('/2"),
the idling speed is increased. Pulling the
control out further, enriches the fuel-air
mixture. This steps up the idling speed.
3 Switch, electrically heated
rear window
I n order to obtain a clear view
through the rear window during
and damp weather, your
cold
Volvo is fitted with an electrically
heated rear window.
Heating is by means of wires on the inside
of the rear window. For this reason, avoid
placing anything on the rear shelf which
could damage the wires.
The switch has two positions. Pulled out
to the first stop, there is an output of
approximately 50 W, and when pulled out
When re-
to second stop, the output will be about
200 W. As long as the electric heating is
on, a warning lamp lights in the switch.
As soon as the rear window is free from
moist and ice, push in the switch, either
one stop or fully, in order not to overload
1'/2
the battery unduly.
