42 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, rain
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
Rain Sensing Wipers — Inhibition — When the
user changes the ignition position from OFF to
ON/RUN with the windshield wiper lever
already in the intermittent position, no wipe
cycle is performed for safety reasons. This
temporary inhibition avoids accidental activa-
tions of the wiping (e.g. during the hand
washing of the windshield, blocking the blades
in ice/snow conditions).
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers
in three ways:
Moving the lever from the off (O) position to the
intermittent positions.
One MIST command actuation.
The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h)
and the rain sensor detects the presence of
rain.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the lever on the right side of the steering
column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by
rotating a switch, located at the middle of the
lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermit-
tent operation and to the second
detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is
desired. If the lever is pushed while in
the intermittent setting, the wiper will
turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after
the end of the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 30 seconds.
Once the lever is released, the pump will
resume normal operation.
When front wipers are continuous and the
vehicle is shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper
will perform one round up to clean the rear
window.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the wiper will auto-
matically return to the “park” position.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is
located with the Climate Controls on
the instrument panel. Push this
button to turn on the rear window defroster. An
indicator in the button will illuminate when the
rear window defroster is on. The rear window
defroster automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 20 minutes. To manually shut the
defroster off, push the button a second time.
Auto-On Comfort — If Equipped
The rear window defroster will turn on automati-
cally whenever the engine is started and the
outside temperature is less than 40°F (4.4°C).
This function can be activated and deactivated
through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
