Flash-to-Pass Feature This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic or off position. To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then release it. If the headlamps are in the automatic position or on low beam, the high-beam headlamps will turn on and the high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster will come on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you. Release the lever to return to the initial position. If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display (HUD), an arrow will appear in the display area to indicate that the high beams are on. MIST: Turn the band to MIST for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start, then let it go. The windshield wipers will stop after one cycle. For more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn to windshield wipers off. DELAY (Delayed Wiping): Turn the band upward to choose one of the five delay settings. For longer periods of time between wiper blade cycles, select a low setting. For shorter periods of time between wiper blade cycles, select a higher setting. The further the band is turned upward, the longer the delay between wiper cycles. LOW: Turn the band to LOW for steady wiping at a low speed. HIGH: Turn the band to HIGH for steady wiping at a high speed. 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 the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Windshield Wipers To operate the windshield wipers, turn the band marked WIPER located on the multifunction lever, upward or downward. 2-51
