hey, i got my s13 about 2 weeks ago, I dont have the owner’s manual, so my question is:
on the wiper control, there is a nob that twists, and a “gauge” or so, that is blueish and goes left to right dependin on how much u twist the nob, what is this nob? sinc eit’s not labelled, or it’s rubbed out, i have no idea what it’s function is. And another one, ther is a button on the left side beside the headlight popup/cruise buttons. It is a light bulb with arrows pointin up and down, what do those do? lol. I tried to search for this, but I guess i’m the only newb with these controls lol.

the lightbulb with the arrows pointing up and down regulate the brightness of your dash lights.
The thingy on the windshield wiper control regulates the amount of fluid being sprayed on the windshield.

the twister knob on the wiper arm regulates the delay in the intermitant wipers…

If i remember correctly, turning it towards you, so the blue goes away, makes it go slower and turning it away from you making the blue appear, makes it go faster. I think.

That’s the intuitive thing… but I was just f\*ckn around with it earlier… you’d think more blue = more water = higher frequency but it’s the opposite. More blue = more delay between wipes.
