2. If you pull the handle towards you, there will be a high beam warning light
The high beam warning lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster.

Move the lever up or down until the direction indicators turn on. When the lever is moved up or down in the instrument cluster, the turn signal indicator flashes. When the steering wheel is returned to the straight-ahead position, the lever automatically returns to its original position. When changing lanes, to turn on the direction indicator, it is enough to press the lever in the up or down direction only until there is a noticeable resistance, without fixing the lever. When released, the lever will return to its original position.

The wiper is switched on by turning the combined lever. First make sure the ignition is on. Then turn the combination lever to the desired position depending on the intensity of the rain.
0 - Wiper off
I - Intermittent operation (interval depends on the amount of water)
II - Normal operation
III - Fast work mode
Note:
If the vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 5 km/h or comes to a stop, the switched on wiper automatically switches to the next lower operating mode level.
One stroke of the wiper blades:
Briefly press the switch in the direction of the arrow (toward the steering wheel). The wiper will perform one brush stroke without water being drawn from the washer reservoir.
Cleaning windows with water supply from the washer tank:
Push the switch in the direction of the arrow with the transition point of resistance. The windshield wiper cleans the glass with water from the washer reservoir.
Note:
Switch on the water supply from the windshield washer reservoir also when it rains. This will prevent the formation of streaks on the windshield. The rear window wiper automatically wipes the glass when the windshield wiper is on and the reverse gear is engaged.
