tent interval previously selected. If the lever is pulled
while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers
will operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.
Mist Feature
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the
lever upward to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on
the windshield. The wash function must be used in
order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the wind-
shield and automatically 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 multifunc-
tion lever to one of the four intermittent wiper
sensitivity settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the
multifunction lever. Wiper sensitivity position 3 has
been calibrated for best overall wiping sensitivity. If
the operator desires more wiping sensitivity, they
may select sensitivity position 4. If the operator
desires less wiping sensitivity, they may select sen-
sitivity positions 2 or 1. Place the multifunction lever
in the 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 prop-
erly when ice or dried saltwater is present on the
windshield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce rain sensor performance.
• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
through the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Own-
er’s Manual for further information.
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 first switched ON, when 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
3 mph (5 km/h) or the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
• Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature
will not operate when the ignition is ON, when the
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 multi-
function lever is moved, the 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 ve-
hicle is in the remote start mode. Once the opera-
tor is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition
switch in the RUN position, rain sensing wiper
operation can resume, if it has been selected, and
no other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously)
exist.
