The windshield wipers and washer controls are on
the multi-function turn signal lever on the left-hand
side of the steering column. See

Fig. 4.26

The wipers are operated by a rotary switch on the
turn signal lever. There are five settings, marked on
the dial by symbols for off, two intermittent settings,
and two continuous speeds.

Turn the wipers on by rotating the rotary switch up.
Rotate the switch further to increase the speed of the
wipers through the two intermittent settings, then to
low and high speeds. Rotate the switch down to slow
the wipers down. Rotate the switch as far down as it
will go to turn the wipers off.

For wiper intermittent operation, there are two set-
tings. The first intermittent setting has a default inter-
val of 6 seconds, but the interval is programmable
from 1 to 25 seconds. To program the interval, rotate
the switch from the first intermittent position to the
OFF position, wait for the desired interval between
wipes to lapse (between 1 and 25 seconds), and
then move the switch back to the first intermittent
position. If the switch is kept in the OFF position for
more than 50 seconds, the interval changes back to
the default of 6 seconds. The second intermittent set-
ting has an interval of 1 second, and is not program-
mable.

NOTE: Some vehicles may have a feature that
automatically turns on the headlights if the wind-

shield wipers are on and the vehicle is moving
faster than 10 mph (16 km/h). At speeds be-
tween 10 and 40 mph (16 to 64 km/h), cycling
the headlight switch will turn the headlights off.

The windshield washer button is located at the end
of the turn signal lever. Momentarily press the wind-
shield washer button to initiate a single wipe without
activating the washer pump. The wipers will swipe
one full cycle and return to the inactive position.

To operate the windshield washers, press and hold
the button in. After a short delay, the washer will
pump windshield washer fluid onto the windshield for
as long as the washer button is pressed. The wind-
shield wipers will turn on at low speed while the
washer button is pressed. After the button is re-
leased, the wipers will continue to operate for one to
several wipe cycles, depending on how long the
wash button was pressed initially.

Suspension Controls

Air Suspension Height Control Switch

NOTICE

Do not operate the vehicle over uneven ground
such as ramps, speed bumps, curbs, etc. with
the air springs deflated. Doing this may lead to
air bag separation from the piston, preventing the
suspension air springs from re-inflating.

The air suspension height control switch is used to
adjust the vehicle height to aid in coupling or uncou-
pling from a trailer. See

Fig. 4.27

. Setting the switch

to LOWER deflates the air springs to lower the rear
of the vehicle. In the NORMAL position, the air
springs inflate to raise the rear of the vehicle to nor-
mal ride height.
