Other Messages There are three messages that may appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). They are CLEAN RADAR, RADAR CRUISE NOT READY and SERVICE RADAR CRUISE. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-73. Windshield Wipers Turn the band with the wiper symbol on it to control the windshield wipers. Cleaning the System The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine and clean the lens. See "Cleaning the System" under Adaptive Cruise Control on page 3-19. 8 (Mist): For a single wiping cycle, hold it on mist until the wipers start, then release. The wipers stop after one wipe. For more wipe cycles, hold the band longer. 6 (Delay): Use to set the delay time between wipe cycles. The wiper speed can be set for a long or short delay between wipes. The closer the band is set to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay. For steady wiping at low speed. For high-speed wiping. Flash-to-Pass This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. The flash-to-pass feature will only work with the headlamps on. It does not work with Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to use. If the headlamps are on low beam, pulling the turn signal towards you will flash the high beams. 6 (Low Speed): 1 (High Speed): 9 (Off): Turns the wipers off. Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If the wipers are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If they become worn or damaged, replace with new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. The vehicle has wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have completed eight wipe cycles within four minutes, the headlamps automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps on page 3-32 for more information. 3-13
