Rainsense II
t Wipers
The moisture sensor is mounted on the interior side
of the windshield below the rearview mirror and is used
to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring the
amount of moisture build
-
up on the windshield.
Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending
on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light
rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or
snow, wipes will occur more frequently. The Rainsense
wipers operate in a delay mode as well as a continuous
low or high speed as needed. If the system is left on
for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur
without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal
and indicates that the Rainsense system is activated.
The Rainsense system can be activated by moving
the wiper stalk up to the INT position and turning
the INT ADJ band to one of the five sensitivity levels.
The bottom INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity
setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to
collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the
INT ADJ band away from you to the higher sensitivity
levels allows less rain or snow to collect on the
windshield between wipes.
The top position is the highest sensitivity setting,
level five. A single wipe will occur each time you turn
the INT ADJ band to a higher sensitivity level to
indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased.
NOTICE:
The wipers must be turned off when going
through a car wash to avoid damage.
The MIST and “wash” cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense function. The Rainsense
system can be overridden at any time by manually
changing the wiper control to LO or HI speed.
NOTICE:
Do not place stickers or other items on the
exterior glass surface directly in front of the
moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.
