The Wiper System in addition to HI (1) and LO (2) speeds, has an intermittent delay (3) mode. The wipers will return to the park position when the wiper portion of the switch is rotated to the OFF position. A mist function can be operated by briefly pressing the end of the Multifunction Switch lever inward. In addition to operating the Wiper System, the Multifunction Switch also operates high beam/flash to pass and turn signals.

The Multifunction Switch cannot be adjusted, or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged, the entire unit must be replaced. For complete Multifunction Switch removal procedures, refer to REMOVAL .
