RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers. Rotate the end of the windshield wiper
lever to one of the four detent positions to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from
the windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity
position 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper
sensitivity position 4 is the most sensitive.
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
Ú page 210.
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.
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 condi-
tions (mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER
