A chime will sound if you leave your turn signal on for
more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change your headlamps
from low beams to high
beams, or high to low, pull
the multifunction lever all
the way toward you. Then
release it.
When the high beams are on, this light on the instrument
panel also will be on.
Flash-to-Pass Feature
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 turn the high
-
beam headlamps “flash” off.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
marked WIPER. 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.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band to LO. For
high
-
speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop
the wipers, turn the band to OFF.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
