The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position 1 is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is the most sensitive.
Setting 3 should be used for normal rain conditions.
Settings 1 and 2 can be used if the driver desires less wiper
sensitivity. Setting 4 can be used if the driver desires more
sensitivity. The rain sensing wipers will automatically
change between an intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a fast
wipe depending on the amount of moisture that is sensed
on the windshield. Place the wiper switch in the OFF
position when not using the system.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off using
the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper speed is in the low or high position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is placed in
the RUN position, the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless the
wiper control on the multifunction lever is moved, the
vehicle speed becomes greater than 0 mph (0 km/h) or
the outside temperature rises above freezing.
• Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is placed in the RUN
position, the automatic transmission gear selector is in
the NEUTRAL position and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 mph (5 km/h), unless the wiper control on the
multifunction lever is moved 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 the ON/RUN position, rain sensing
wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no
other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) exist.
