Rainsense windshield wipers operate in a delay mode,
as well as a continuous low or high speed as needed.
Move the wiper lever up to the delay position and
turn the band to one of five settings.
The level one or lowest setting is at the bottom of the
band. This setting lets more rain or snow collect on
the windshield between wipes. Turn the delay band
forward to a higher setting to let less rain or snow collect
on the windshield between wipes.
The top position is the highest setting. A single wipe
occurs each time the delay band is turned to a higher
setting to indicate that the Rainsense level has
been increased.
Notice: Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
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 low or high speed.
The system will default to normal time delay operation
if the Rainsensor detects something that would
affect Rainsense operation.
When Rainsense is active, the headlamps turn on
automatically. If it is dark, they remain on. See
“Wiper-Activated Headlamps” under Wiper Activated
Headlamps on page 3-17 for more information.
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.
