one Windshield Wiper Washer
| The multifunction lever controls the windshield
wiper modes, speeds and the windshield washer. For intermittent operation, move the
control up one position. You can then adjust the rotary control to the desired interval
speed. For normal or low wiper speed, move the control up two positions from OFF. For
high speed operation, move the control up three positions from OFF. For windshield
washer control, pull the end of the lever toward you. A brief pull causes a single swipe
of the wipers without washer fluid. With a quick pull and hold, the wipers will swipe three times with washer
fluid. With a long pull and hold, the wipers will activate washer fluid for up to ten seconds.
two Speed Control
For your speed control to work, you must press and release
|
the ON button. Pressing and releasing the OFF button disengages the system and
turns it off. To set a speed, accelerate to the desired speed and press the SET+ button,
then take your foot off the accelerator pedal. You can Increase speed using speed
control by pressing and releasing the SET+ button until you reach the desired speed;
increasing speed by 1 mph (1..6 km/h) with each tap. You can decrease speed in the
same way using the SET- button. Pressing the RSM (resume) button will automatically return the vehicle to
the previously set speed. The RSM control will not work if the vehicle speed is below 30 mph (48 km/h) or
if the OFF or CNCL button was pressed. To disengage the speed control, press the OFF or CNCL button or
press the brake pedal.
three Headlamp Control

the tail lamps. Continuing to turn the headlamp control to the second position turns on
the headlamps. To use the autolamp light-sensitive, automatic on-off control for the
headlamps, turn the headlamp control counterclockwise. To turn autolamps off, turn
the control clockwise to the OFF position. To activate the high beams, simply pull the
turn signal lever towards you to the second detent. Pull the lever towards you again to deactivate high
beams. Use the same lever to activate the "Flash to Pass" feature. Pull the lever towards you to the first
detent to activate and release it to deactivate.
four Foglamp Control
With the ignition on, the foglamps can be turned on when
|
the headlamp control is in the parking lamp, headlamp, or autolamp position and the high
beams are not on. Simply pull the headlamp control toward you to turn on the foglamps.
The foglamp indicator light will illuminate. The foglamps will not operate when the high
beams are activated.
