Flash-To-Pass; Windshield Wipers - Buick Lucerne 2007 Owner's Manual

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. It works even if your headlamps are off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you briefly to
flash-to-pass.
If the headlamps are off or on low beam, the
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.

Windshield Wipers

You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
(Mist): Turn the band to mist for a single wiping
8
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.
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.
164
(Low Speed): Turn the band away from
6
you to the first solid band past the delay settings
for steady wiping at low speed.
(High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn
1
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
(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 171 for more information.
