NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when
the wiper switch is in the low or high-speed
position.
The Rain Sensing feature may not func tion
properly when ice, or dried salt water is present
on the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or
silicone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off using the Uconnect System, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in your
Owner’s Manual for further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features
for the wiper blades and arms, and will not
operate under the following conditions:
Low Ambient Temperature When the igni-
tion is firs t turned to RUN, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch is
moved, vehicle speed is greater than 0 mph
(0 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater
than 32°F (0°C).
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position When
the ignition is in RUN mode, and the automatic
transmission is in the NEUTRAL position, the
Rain Sensing system will not operate until the
wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear selector is
moved out of the NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in RUN mode, rain sensing wiper
operation can resume, if it has been selected, and
no other inhibit conditions (mentioned previ-
ously) exist.
Rain Sensing Wipers Inhibition When the
user switches the ignition from OFF to RUN with
the windshield wiper lever already in the inter-
mittent position, no wipe cycle is performed for
safety reasons. This temporary inhibition avoids
accidental activations of the wiping (e.g. during
the hand washing of the windshield, blocking the
blades in ice/snow conditions).
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in
three ways:
Moving the lever in off (O) position and then in
intermittent positions.
One MIST command actuation.
The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5km/h) and
the rain sensor detects the presence of rain.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the lever on the right side of the steering column.
The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a
switch, located at the middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to
the first detent for intermittent operation and to
the second detent for continuous rear wiper
operation.
