Mist feature on wipers?

Today had a light mist and went to do the mist feature on the wipers and it wasn't there. I have the XLT with most of the bells and whistles on it. Did they do away with this feature? I have the delay wipers but no mist. I looked online and in the brochure and can't fine any mention of this.

I guess you can say it still has this feature, you just push the windshield washer button briefly. Same as the 04-08 trucks.

As per the owner's manual:

Windshield washer:
Push the end of the stalk:
briefly: causes a single swipe of the wipers without washer fluid.
• a quick push and hold: the wipers will swipe three times with washer fluid.
• a long push and hold: the wipers and washer fluid will be activated for up to ten seconds.

Didn't realize that! I used to turn on the wipers and then turn them off. I'll use this for sure - I live in Oregon!

yeah, I didn't realize that on my 04, used to turn the switch on and off real quick. Thought I would wear the switch out eventually. Now I just hit the button real quick.
