The Rainsense™ II windshield wipers use a moisture sensor to automatically operate the
wipers when needed, depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. If the system
is left on for long periods, an occasional wipe may occur without any moisture on the
windshield to indicate the system is activated.
The headlamps and parking lamps also will be turned on automatically when the Rainsense
wipers are active if the exterior lamp control switch is in the AUTO position. The controls for the
windshield wipers are located on the multifunction stalk on the left side of the steering column.
