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. Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to
use. When you do, the following will occur:
·If the low-beam headlamps are on, the high-beam
headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long
as you hold the lever there. Release the lever
to turn them off.
·If the headlamps are on high-beam, they will switch
to low-beam. To return to high beam, push the
lever away from you.
Windshield Wipers
Use the lever located on the right side of the steering
column to operate the windshield wipers.
1(High Speed):Move the lever to this position for
steady wiping at high speed.
6(Low Speed):Move the lever to this position for
steady wiping at low speed.
&(Delay):Move the lever to this position to activate
the RainsenseŸ function. Adjustments in this region
change the sensitivity of the RainsenseŸ system.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn off the
windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to mist and
release for a single wiping cycle. The windshield
wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes,
hold the band on mist longer.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this
occurs, a circuit breaker will stop the wipers until the
motor cools. So, be sure to clear any ice and snow from
the windshield wiper blades before using them. If the
wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen them or warm the windshield before turning the
wipers on. If your blades do become worn or
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

time the washer ¯uid button is pressed, washer ¯uid
will clean the headlamps.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer ¯uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.If the ¯uid in the windshield washer ¯uid reservoir is
low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will
take 60 seconds after the bottle is re®lled for this
message to turn off. For information on the correct
washer ¯uid mixture to use, see
Windshield Washer
Fluid on page 5-33andRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-11.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Be sure to read this entire section before using this
feature.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired

3-9

Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When ACC detects a slower moving vehicle, it will
adjust your vehicle's speed and maintain the follow
distance (gap) you select.
Use the GAP button on
the steering wheel to
adjust the follow distance.
Press the top of the button to increase the distance or
the bottom of the button to decrease the distance.
The ®rst button press will show you the current follow
distance setting on the HUD. Your current follow
distance setting will be maintained until you change it.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The
follow distance selection ranges from near to far
(1 second to 2 seconds follow time).The distance maintained for a selected follow distance
will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed the further back you will follow. Consider
traffic and weather conditions when selecting the
follow distance. The range of selectable distances may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions.
If you choose to travel at a distance farther than
ACC allows, disengage ACC and drive manually.
A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected follow
distance. This picture shows a maximum follow distance.
The vehicles will move closer as you select a smaller
follow distance.

approximately six seconds.
When the exterior lamp control has been turned off or is
in the parking lamp position and the wiper control is
on delay, low speed or high speed, the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated

Twilight Sentinelžalso provides exterior illumination as
you leave the vehicle. If Twilight Sentinelžhas turned
on the lamps when you turn off the ignition, your lamps
will remain on until:

If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been
left on, the exterior lamps will turn off as soon as
the ignition is turned off or RAP is active. This protects
against draining the battery in case you have
accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on.
The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are
turned on after the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
If you need to leave the lamps on, use the exterior lamp

3. Press the DIMMER button until the DIC reads HUD
DIMMING. Then use the brightness button to adjust
the desired intensity.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by the
light conditions in the direction your vehicle is facing
and where you have the HUD set. If you are facing a
dark object or a heavily shaded area, your HUD
may anticipate that you are entering a dark area and
may begin to dim.
To turn off the HUD, press the brightness button down

Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.
As light shines out from the HUD, it is possible for light
to shine back in. In rare occurrences, when the sun
is at a speci®c angle and position, the sun's rays can
shine back into the HUD. When this occurs, the display
device within the HUD will be temporarily illuminated.
The event will end when the vehicle's angle to the
sun changes.
