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 1 (Low Speed): Slow wipes. (High Speed): Fast wipes. Turns the wipers off. 9 (Off): Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced. 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 4-29 for more information. Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper lever is located on the left side of the steering column. Turn the band with the wiper symbol on it to control the windshield wipers. Rainsense™ II Wipers If the vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is mounted on the interior of the windshield beside the rearview mirror and is used to automatically operate the wipers. This system operates by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on the driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently. 8 (Mist): For a single wiping cycle, hold it on mist until the wipers start, then release. The wipers stop after one wipe. Several wipes, 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. 4-10
