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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
