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. 6 (Delay): Turn the band to choose 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. 6 (Low Speed): Turn the band away from you to the first solid band past the delay settings for steady wiping at low speed. 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. 1 (High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the second solid band past the delay settings. 9 (Off): To stop the wipers, move the band to off. Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades 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. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Your 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 3-33 for more information. Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol on it. 8 (Mist): Turn the band to mist for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go. The wipers stop after one wipe. For more wipe cycles, hold the band longer on mist. 3-13
