• Turn Signal Switch: Controls the vehicle's turn signals to indicate turns or lane changes.
• Headlight Switch: Manages the vehicle's headlights, including high and low beams, and sometimes fog lights.
• Wiper and Washer Controls: Operates the windshield wipers and washer fluid.
• Cruise Control: Allows the driver to set and adjust the vehicle's cruising speed.

These switches are designed to provide convenient access to essential vehicle functions while maintaining safe driving practices.
