WARNING: Do not leave small children unattended in the car since careless interference with the power
socket could be dangerous.
Headlamp Dipswitch/Flasher/Turn Indicators
The steering column left hand lever switch controls the headlamps main beam/dip, headlamp flash and
turn indicators.
Headlamp Dipswitch: To switch on the headlamps,
press the headlamp switch in the fascia outboard
of the steering column. The left hand lever switch
is then used to select main or dip beam. Main
beam is obtained with the lever furthest forward,
away from the steering wheel, and dip beam with
the lever moved back towards the wheel. The
main beam tell tale lamp in the instrument panel
lights when main beam is operating.
Note: i) When main beam is selected, the dip
beam lamps remain lit. ii) On cars equipped with
optional auxiliary main beam lamps mounted in
the radiator air intake, the auxiliary lamps operate
in conjunction with the body mounted headlamp
main beams.
Headlamp Flasher: The headlamp flasher is operative at all times. If the lever is pulled towards the steering
wheel against spring pressure, the headlamp main beams will light.
Turn Indicators: The turn indicators operate only with the ignition switched on. Move the lever down to indicate
a left hand turn, and up for a right hand turn. The switch will be cancelled when the steering wheel is returned
to the straight ahead position.
For convenience, when signalling a lane change, lightly pressing the switch up or down will allow its return
under spring action.
Windscreen Wiper/Washer
The steering column right hand lever switch controls the windscreen wiper and washer, and is operative
only with the ignition switched on. Never use the wiper on a dry screen.
Windscreen Wiper: The wiper is controlled by
the up/down position of the lever switch, which
operates as follows:
Moved fully down, the wiper is
switched off.
Move up to the first position for
intermittent wipe. The wiper will make
one sweep about every five seconds.
Select the next position for normal wiper
operation.
Move fully upwards for quick wipe, to
be used only in heavy rain.
Windscreen Washer: Two windscreen washer jets are provided, one each side of the wiper spindle. Pulling
the control lever towards the steering wheel will operate both the washer pump and the wiper. When the switch
is released, the wiper will continue for a further four sweeps.
Horn
The windtone horn, which functions at all times, is operated by a central button in the steering wheel
boss.
