Daytime running light
(if equipped)
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. DRL can
be helpful in many different driving condi-
tions, and it is especially helpful after
dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your high-
beam headlights turn OFF when:
1. The head light switch is ON.
2. The parking brake engaged.
3. Engine stops.
Windshield wipers
Operates as follows when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
OFF : Wiper is not in operation
INT : Wiper operates intermittently at
the same wiping intervals. Use
this mode in a light rain or mist. To
vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
LO : Normal wiper speed
HI : Fast wiper speed
MIST : For a single wiping cycle, push
the lever upward and release it
with the lever in the OFF position.
The wipers will operate continu-
ously if the lever is pushed
upward and held.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Before using the windshield wipers
when there is a heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, defrost
the windshield for about 10 minutes, or
until the snow or ice is removed. This
will help ensure proper windshield
wiper operation and will prevent dam-
age to the wiper blades, wiper linkage,
and wiper motor.
