Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST

Mist Operation
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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 334.
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, high, or
OFF position. Only in one of the intermittent
positions.
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 207.

Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position, when the
transmission gear selector is in the NEUTRAL

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.
