How do I use the flash-to-pass high-beams?
YourMechanic
The flash-to-pass high-beams are a way to flash your high-beams once. To use the flash-to-pass high-beams, pull the turn signal lever towards you, and then release it. The lever will return to its normal position, and the vehicle will flash the high-beams on and off once.
