This is page 13 of a Ford Bronco owner's manual, from the section 'Operating Your Bronco,' continuing 'After Starting the Engine.' It covers visibility and lighting controls. The windshield wipers are two-speed electric units operated by rotating the knob right (first position low, second high); pushing in on the wiper knob operates the windshield washers, with a constant spray produced by holding it in. The headlamp switch is pulled fully out to turn headlamps on, with illustrated positions showing lights off, parking lights on, and headlights on, plus rotation for interior lights and dim/bright settings. The headlamp dimmer switch section explains that a small round red light above the speedometer indicates high beam, and that the beam selector (dimmer) switch is a foot-operated button on the toeboard below the parking brake pedal, pressed with the left foot to toggle between high and low beam. Illustrations depict the wiper/washer knob, the headlamp switch positions, and the floor-mounted high-low beam selector next to the parking brake pedal. The page ends with the start of a 'Driving — Economy Driving Tips' section, advising gradual starts and gentle acceleration to reduce fuel consumption.
