Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal the 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 a little,
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'll stay on as
long as you hold the lever toward you and the
high-beam indicator on the dash will come on. Release
the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
To operate the windshield wipers turn the band located
on the multifunction lever upward or downward.
WIPER: Turn this band to control the windshield wipers.
OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the windshield
wipers.
LO (Low Speed): Turn the band away from you to LO
and past the delay settings for steady wiping at low
speed.
HI (High Speed): Turn the band away from you, to HI,
and past the delay settings for wiping steady at high
speed.
(Delayed Wiping): Turn the band away from you, just
past OFF, to one of the five sensitivity settings, to
choose the delayed wiping cycle. The further the band
is turned upward, toward LO, the shorter the delay
will be. Use this setting for light rain or snow.
MIST: Turn the band to MIST for a single wiping cycle.
Hold it until the windshield wipers start. Then let it
go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If
you want more wipes, hold the band on MIST longer.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the windshield wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become worn or damaged, get new blades or
blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
