Rear Wiper And Washer
Rotating the rotary ring to the first detent activates the rear
intermittent wipers. To activate the washers, rotate the
rotary ring fully forward and the washers will spray until
the ring is released, and then resume the intermittent
interval.
NOTE: Rear window wipers function in the intermittent
wiper speed only.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and auto-
matically activates the wipers for the driver. This feature is
especially useful for road splash or overspray from the
windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of the five intermittent wiper
sensitivity settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the multi-
function lever. Wiper sensitivity position 3 has been cali-
brated for best overall wiping sensitivity. If the operator
desires more wiping sensitivity, they may select sensitivity
positions 4 or 5. If the operator desires less wiping sensi-
tivity, they may select sensitivity positions 2 or 1. Place the
multifunction lever in the O (off) position when not using
the system.
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 saltwater is present on the windshield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
through the instrument cluster display (if equipped).
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the follow-
ing conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is first
switched ON, and the vehicle is stationary, and the
outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless the
wiper control on the multifunction lever is moved, or the
vehicle speed becomes greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or
the outside temperature rises above freezing.
