Dimmer Switch: Description and Operation

Combination Switch And Illuminator Controller:

The light/dimmer/turn signal switch (combination) lever controls both low-beam and high-beam headlamp operations. It is located on the left side of the steering column.

With the headlamps activated, pushing the turn signal/dimmer switch lever forward into the detent position changes the headlamps from low-beam to high-beam operation. Pulling the lever back to the center position will return the headlamps to low-beam operation.

With the lighting system in either the OFF, parklamp or low-beam headlamp setting, pulling the turn signal/dimmer switch lever rearward will cause the high-beam headlamps to illuminate. Releasing the lever (allowing it to return to the center) returns the system to the previous setting (OFF, parklamp or low-beam headlamp). This feature is called flash-to-pass.
