Direction Indicator, Dipped/full Beam Changer

1 Location of point of resistance.
When making manoeuvres requiring only
slight movements of the steering wheel
(changing lanes, overtaking), move the
stalk up or down and hold it there. After
releasing the stalk, it will immediately
return to its neutral position.
2 Move the stalk beyond the pressure
point.
The direction indicators will continue to
flash until the stalk is manually moved
back to the neutral position, or the steering
wheel is returned to the straight ahead
position after the turn.
3 Main beam "flash".
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(until you feel slight resistance).
The main beam will stay lit until the stalk
is released.
Main/dipped beam switching (lights on).
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
beyond the "flashing point" and release it.
Each time you do this, the headlamps will
toggle between main and dipped beam.
In addition, engine idling speed can be
controlled with this stalk. See: "Low Idle
Adjustment", page 88
