Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high to low, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then release it. When the high beams are on, a light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on. If your vehicle is equipped with HUD, this light will also appear in the display area. Windshield Wipers The windshield wipers are controlled by turning the band marked WIPER. OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn the wipers off. MIST: For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. LO (Low Speed): Turn the band to LO for steady wiping at a slow speed. HI (High Speed): Turn the band to HI for steady wiping at a high speed. The wiper speed may be set for a long or short delay between wipes. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay. 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. Keep in mind 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 your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. 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. It works even if your headlamps are off. To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, but not so far that you hear a click. If your headlamps are off or on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you and the high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster will come on. Release the lever to turn the high-beam headlamps off. 3-7
