56 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Dimmer Control
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the
front doors are opened or when the dimmer
control (rotating wheel on the right side of the
headlight switch) is rotated to its farthest upward
position. If your vehicle is equipped with a key fob
and the unlock button is pushed, the courtesy
and dome lights will turn on. When a door is open
and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer
control all the way down, to the (O) off detent, will
cause all the interior lights to go out. This is also
known as the “Party” mode because it allows the
doors to stay open for extended periods of time
without discharging the vehicle’s battery.
Dimmer Control
The brightness of the instrument panel lighting
can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control
up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the
headlights are on you can supplement the
brightness of the odometer, trip odometer,
radio and overhead console by rotating the
control to its farthest position up until you hear
a click. This feature is called the “Parade” mode
and is useful when headlights are required
during the day.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are
located on the multifunction lever on the left
side of the steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located on the
end of the lever.
Multifunction Lever
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
four detent positions for intermittent settings,
the fifth detent for low wiper operation and the
sixth detent for high wiper operation.
Intermittent Wipers
Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings
when weather conditions make a single wiping
cycle, with a variable delay between cycles,
desirable. At driving speeds above 10 mph
(16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from a
maximum of approximately 18 seconds
between cycles (first detent), to a cycle every
one second (fourth detent). If the vehicle is
moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay
times will be doubled.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents
the windshield wiper blades from returning to the
“park” position. If the windshield wiper switch is
turned off, and the blades cannot return to the
“park” position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
