66 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the
end of the windshield wiper lever to one of the
four intermittent wiper sensitivity settings to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from
the windshield wiper 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 sensitivity positions
2 or 1. Place the windshield wiper lever 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
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 perfor-
mance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on
and off through the Uconnect System. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” 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 placed in the ON position,
when the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C),
unless the wiper control on the windshield
wiper 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 windshield wiper 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.
