Flash-to-Pass This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you until the high-beam headlamps come on, then release the lever to turn them off. For a single wiper cycle, push the lever down to MIST, then release it. For more cycles, hold the lever down longer. For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to the LO position. For high-speed wiping, move the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the lever to OFF. You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Move the lever to INT, then turn the inner band, labeled INT ADJ, and choose the delay you want. Turn the inner band up for shorter delay times between wiper cycles. Turn the band down for a longer delay time between wiper cycles. Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by moving the lever with the wiper symbol on it up or down. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. 2-38
