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
windscreen, blocking the blades in ice/snow
conditions). The user can activate the Rain
Sensing Wipers in three ways:
• Moving the level in off position and then in
Intermittent positions.
• One MIST command actuation.
• The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h)
and the rain sensor detects the presence of
rain.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with automatic trans-
mission, the Rain Sensing Wipers will be-
come inactive even if the lever is in one of the
intermittent positions if the vehicle is placed
in NEUTRAL and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 mph (5 km/h). This prevents damage
to the windshield wipers during an automatic
car wash.
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 perfor-
mance.
