Flash-to-Pass System Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Flash-to-Pass feature allows the driver to signal the driver of another vehicle his intention to pass. This is achieved by pulling the lever toward the driver, which will cause the high beam operation to illuminate until the lever is released. The operation of the headlamps with the turn signal/headlamp switch in flash-to-pass mode is the same as the operation of the switch in the high beam mode except the lamps will turn off when the switch is released.
Refer to Headlamp Switch Replacement for turn signal/headlamp switch removal and installation procedures.
