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).

automatic transmission is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not
operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater t han 5 mph (8 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 RUN mode, rain sens-
ing wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
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 intermittent opera-
tion and to the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and hold while spray is desired. Iftheleveris
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 inter-
val 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 turned to the STOP mode, the wiper
will automatically return to the “park” position.
