4-8 Instruments and Controls
Wipe Parking
If the ignition is turned LOCK/OFF
while the wipers are on 1, 2 or
&
,
they will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned to
LOCK/OFF while the wipers
are performing wipes due to
windshield wash, the wipers
continue to run until they reach
the base of the windshield.
Rainsense ™
For vehicles with Rainsense, a
sensor located near the top center
of the windshield detects the
amount of water on the windshield
and automatically controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.

sensitivity to moisture.
Turn the band down for less

Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
the OFF position. This disables the
automatic Rainsense windshield
wipes and/or rear wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
Windshield Washer
Pull the lever toward you to spray
washer fluid on the windshield.
The spray continues until the lever
is released. The wipers will run a
few times. See
Washer Fluid on
page 9 ‑ 23 for information on filling
the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.

WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use
your washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
