Multifunction Switch

Multi-Function Switch






The multi-function switch assembly, which is mounted to the steering actuator housing, provides electrical switching for:
- turn signal.
- headlamp dimmer.
- headlamp flash-to-pass.
- hazard warning.
- cornering lamps.
- windshield washer/wiper.

The intermittent wiper control switch, located in the knob at the end of the multi-function switch, operates as follows:

- The ignition switch must be in the RUN position to operate wiper.
- In addition to OFF, there are two fixed wiper speed positions, LO and HI, as well as an interval position.
- Positions are selected by rotating the knob actuator relative to the turn signal lever.
- If interval position is selected, the time between wiper cycles will decrease as the knob is rotated away from the OFF position and increase as the knob is rotated toward the OFF position.
- The time interval between wipes will vary depending on the knob's position from OFF.
- Wiper speed for interval wiper operation is fixed at the LO speed setting.

The windshield washer switch, located at the end of the multi-function switch, operates as follows:

- The ignition switch must be in the RUN position to operate washer.
- To actuate the washer, push the end of the multi-function switch in toward the center of the steering column housing.
- Release the multi-function switch to turn off the washer.
- The windshield wiper blades will continue to operate briefly and then automatically return to the previous wiper speed setting (OFF, LO, HI, or INT).
- Washer operation is available in all positions of wiper operation.

The headlamp dimmer switch and the flash-to-pass feature, also operated by the multi-function switch, operate as follows:

- Select high beam by moving the multi-function switch away from the driver to the stop.
- Release the multi-function switch to maintain high beams.
- Select low beam by moving the multi-function switch toward driver from high beam position.
- Release the multi-function switch to maintain low beams.
- Pull the multi-function switch gently toward driver to operate flash-to-pass feature.
- Release multi-function switch to return to low beam position.
- Using the flash-to-pass feature without the headlamp bulbs on will turn on the high beams until the multi-function switch is released.
- Using the flash-to-pass feature with the headlamp bulbs on will keep the low and high beams on until the multi-function switch is released.

NOTE: Excessive force used to hold the multi-function switch in the flash-to-pass function followed by quick release may result in incorrect headlamp bulb dimmer selection of high beam. The driver must be cautioned to avoid this condition.
