Front Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of
the two detent positions for intermittent set-
tings, the third detent for low wiper operation
and the fourth for high wiper operation.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pulled while in the intermittent setting, the
wipers will turn on and operate for several
wipe cycles after the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previ-
ously selected.
If the lever is pulled while the wipers are in
the off position, the wipers will operate for
several wipe cycles, then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-

shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. 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 func-
tion must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the wind-
shield and automatically activates the wipers
for the driver. The feature is especially useful
for road splash or overspray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to one of
the two detent positions for intermittent set-
tings, to activate this feature.
NOTE:
If the end of the multifunction lever rotates
from off to the first intermittent setting or
from the first intermittent setting to the sec-
ond intermittent setting, the wipers will per-
form a round up to clean the windshield.
This function can be activated or deactivated
by the Uconnect Settings through the radio.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay po-
sition one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position two is the most sensitive. Place
the wiper switch in the off position when not
using the system.
Rain Sensing Wipers Inhibition
When the user switches the ignition from OFF
to RUN or START with the lever already in the
intermittent position, no wipe cycle is per-
formed for safety reasons. This temporary
inhibition avoids accidental activations of the
wiping (e.g during the hand washing of the
