Now you can have a dedicated button for a train horn!

They come on with the first use of the windshield washer as long as the headlights are on, and every 5th pulse of the windshield washer thereafter.

They are a huge asset in the snow and slush, but sometimes I want to give a short spray to the windshield without soaking the headlights and hood, and I can’t do that. I’d rather a dedicated switch.

Yes the headlight washer jet is quite powerful. Can blast dirt off with a couple of pushes.

I have the headlight washer button on my 2013 GSH, but have never tried to use it. I don't understand when I would use it given I live in Florida. But I understand the Northern people needing it. Our GSH's do not have any audible noise button for electric mode in the US, do we?

There is no way to control the electric noise you hear when you creep forward. It's automatic.
