Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The 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 four settings to activate this
feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the multi-
function lever. Wiper delay position one is the least sensitive,
and wiper delay position four is the most sensitive.
NOTE:
Setting three is preferred by the average driver during
normal rain conditions.
Settings one and two can be used if the driver desires less
wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if the driver
desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF
position when not using the system.
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 function 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” 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 ignition is first
cycled ON, 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 outside temperature is greater than
32°F (0°C).
• Transmission In NEUTRAL (N) Position — When the
ignition is ON, 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 opera-
