Steering Column Controls; Multi-Function Lever - PREVOST H3-45 VIP Owner's Manual

STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS

Many of the most frequently used controls are
conveniently placed on the steering column or the
steering wheel, just like a passenger car. The multi-
function lever is located on the left side of the
steering wheel while the optional transmission
retarder lever is located on the right side of the
steering wheel. Switches for the electric horn and
the air horn are located directly on the steering
wheel.

MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER

MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER

The multi- function lever is used to operate the
following:
(1) Turn Signal
Move the lever all the way up until it locks in position
to signal a right turn. Move the lever all the way
down until it locks in position to signal a left turn.
The lever automatically returns to the horizontal OFF
position once the turn is completed.
(2) Lane Change Signal
Move the lever part way to the catch position and
hold until the lane change maneuver is completed.
The lever will spring back into the OFF position once
released.
(3) Headlight Beam Toggle Switch
Toggle between high and low beams by pulling the
lever up towards you. To flash the headlights, pull
the lever up halfway. The lever will spring back into
normal position once released.
(4) Courtesy Blinkers
Clearance and parking lights can be flashed by
pressing the button located on the lever tip.
(5) Windshield Washer Control
Push the external ring at the end of the lever towards
the steering column to activate the windshield
washers. The wipers come On and continue wiping
for a few seconds after the ring is released.
Before using the windshield washers in cold
weather, heat the windshield with the defroster to
prevent icing and reduced visibility.
To avoid damaging the pump mechanism, do not
use the windshield washer when the fluid level is
very low or empty.
(6) Windshield Wipers
Turn the lever counterclockwise to activate the
windshield wipers. The first position activates the
wipers intermittently. The second position is the
slow speed and the third position is for high speed
wiping.
To avoid scratching the windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is dry. To avoid
damaging the wiper motor, free wiper blades that
may be frozen to the windshield before operating
the wipers.
