Saab 9-7X Automobile User Manual


 
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets high-beam headlamps be used to
signal to a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if the headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If the headlamps are in the automatic position or on low
beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on. They will
stay on as long as the lever is held toward you.
The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster
comes on. Release the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper lever is located on the right side of
the steering column.
Move the lever to control the windshield wipers.
7 (Mist): Pull the lever down and release it for a
single wiping cycle. The lever will return to its original
position. Hold the lever down longer for more wipe
cycles.
9 (Off): Turns off the wipers.
& (Delay): Sets a delay between wipes. Turn the
delay adjustment band to set the length of the delay.
x (Delay Adjustment): Use this band to set the
length of the delay between wipes when using the delay
feature. The closer the band is moved toward mist,
the longer the delay. The windshield wiper lever must
be in delay for this feature to work.
6 (Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed.
1 (High Speed): For wiping a high speed.
If the windshield wipers are in use for about six seconds
while you are driving, the exterior lamps will come on
automatically if the exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before
using them.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, gently
loosen or thaw them. If they become damaged,
install new blades or blade inserts. For more information,
see Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-56.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
