Steering Column Multifunction Switch RH
The steering column multifunction switch RH controls the following functions when the ignition switch is in position II
Flick Wipe
Flick wipe operation
- Is obtained by pulling the switch stalk towards the driver.
- Features continuous wipe action at slow speed while the switch stalk position is held.
Intermittent Wipe
In the intermittent wipe position
- The wiper operates intermittently, with a variable time delay between wipes.
- The time delay may be varied by rotating the column switch collar. This switch has six positions and varies the delay between 1 and 22 seconds. The collar is turned counter-clockwise to increase the delay.
Slow Speed Wiper
In the slow speed position
- The wiper operates continuously at slow speed.
High Speed Wiper
In the high speed position
- The wiper operates continuously at high speed.
Windscreen Wash/Wipe
The wash/wipe function
- Is operated by the button at the end of the switch stalk.
- If the switch stalk is in the off or intermittent position the washers will operate for the duration the button is being pressed. The wipers will operate at the slow speed while the button is being pressed and provides an additional three sweeps of the wipers after the button is released.
- If the switch stalk is in the flick, slow or high speed position the washers will operate for the duration the button is being pressed. The wipers will operate at the slow or high speed respectively while the button is being pressed.
- Is disabled if the 'Washer Fluid Low' message is displayed but manual operation is still available.
Headlamp Power Wash (if equipped)
The headlamp power wash function
- Operates only when the headlamps are on and the windscreen wash/wipe button is pressed.
- Provides one short burst to the headlamps for approximately 0.5 of a second.
After the initial application, the headlamp power wash operates on every fifth operation of the wash/wipe button.
Rain Sensing/Auto Wipe (if equipped)
The rain sensing/auto wipe function
- Operates if the wash/wipe switch is set to the intermittent position and the variable delay is adjusted to the minimum position. If any other position is selected the rain sensing function is disabled and the system reverts to the intermittent function with position two being the shortest delay.
- When rain sensing/auto wipe is selected the area of the windscreen covered by the rain sensor is monitored for moisture. If moisture is detected the wipers are activated. The speed of the wipers is dependent on the amount of moisture detected on the windscreen. When the windscreen is dry the wipers are parked until moisture is detected again.
Steering Column Multifunction Switch LH
The steering column multifunction switch LH controls the following functions when the ignition switch is in position II
Direction Indicators
The direction indicators
- Operate when the ignition switch is in position II.
- Are operated by moving the switch stalk up or down until it latches in position to indicate a right or left turn respectively.
- May be operated while the switch stalk is held against spring pressure before reaching the latched position.
- Cancel automatically upon completion of a turn. The multifunction switch LH stalk then returns to the center position.
An audible ticking and a flashing green warning lamp on the instrument cluster indicates that the direction indicators are operating. If an indicator bulb fails, the warning lamp and ticking operate at twice the normal rate.
Main Beam
The main beam switch has two pull positions. Operating the switch to the first position and then releasing it will cause the main beam to flashed. The main beam can be flashed with the ignition on or off and will remain activated as long as the switch is held.
Operating the switch to the second position will operate main beam continuously if the headlamps are on.
