Cadillac 2009 ESCALADE EXT, Owner'S Manual

Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on. They
will stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you.
The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster
will come on. Release the lever to return to normal
operation.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wipers are controlled by turning the
band with
z
on it.
8 (Mist): 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 wipe. If more wipes are
needed, hold the band on mist longer.
6
(Delay): The wiper speed can be set for a long or
short delay between wipes. Turn the band to choose
the delay time. The closer to the top of the lever,
the shorter the delay.
6 (Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed,
turn the band away from you to the first solid band past
the delay settings.
1 (High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn the
band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
9
(Off): Turns the wipers off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If the wipers are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades
do become worn or damaged, get new blades or
blade inserts.
Rainsense™ II Wipers
The vehicle has Rainsense™ II windshield wipers.
These wipers automatically turn on when a sensor,
mounted next to the inside rearview mirror, detects
moisture on the windshield. When active, these wipers
are able to detect moisture on the windshield and
automatically turn on the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense™ feature, the wipers must be
set to one of the five delay settings. Each of the five
settings adjusts the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
