•
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone may reduce Rain Sensing perfor-
mance
.
•
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off using the Uconnect System, refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information
.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
•
Low Ambient Temperature
— When the ignition is first turned ON, the Rain 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)
.
•
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position
— When the ignition is ON, and the automatic
transmission is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not operate
until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), or the
shift lever/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 the MAR/RUN posi-
tion, rain sensing 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
.
If the lever is
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
.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position, the wiper will operate for
several wipe cycles, then turn off
.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch is held for more than 30 sec-
onds
.
Once the lever is released, the pump will resume normal operation
.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned to the STOP/OFF position, the
wiper will automatically return to the “park” position
.
