GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 41
Mist
Use this 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 Sensor — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture 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 two detent
positions for intermittent settings to activate
this feature.
NOTE:
If the end of the multifunction lever rotates from
the off (O) position to the first intermittent setting
or from the first intermittent setting to the second
intermittent setting, the wipers will perform a
round up to clean the windshield.
Rain Sensor Location
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one
is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position
two is the most sensitive. Setting one should be
used for normal rain conditions, and can be used
if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting
two can be used if the driver desires more sensi-
tivity. Place the wiper switch in the off (O) 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 sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off using the Uconnect System, refer to “Ucon-
nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
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 placed in the ON/RUN position, the Rain
Sensing system will not operate until the wiper
switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature is
greater than 32°F (0°C).
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position, and the
automatic transmission is in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion, 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.
