46 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push
the lever upward to the MIST position and
release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The Mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers for the
driver. The feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of the two detent
positions for intermittent settings, to activate
this feature.
NOTE:
If the end of the multifunction lever rotates from
off to the first intermittent setting or from the
first intermittent setting to the second intermit -
tent setting, the wipers will perform a round up
to clean the windshield.
This function can be activated or deactivated by
the Uconnect Settings through the radio. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
Rain Sensor
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position two is the most sensitive. Place
the wiper switch in the off position when not
using the system.
Rain Sensing Wipers – Inhibition
When the user changes the ignition position
from OFF to ON/RUN with the lever already in
the intermittent position, no wipe cycle is
performed for safety reasons. This temporary
inhibition avoids accidental activations of the
wiping (e.g during the hand washing of the
windscreen, blocking the blades in ice/snow
conditions). The user can activate the Rain
Sensing Wipers in three ways:

Moving the lever in off position and then to
an intermittent position.

One MIST command actuation.

The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h)
and the rain sensor detects the presence of
rain.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with automatic transmis -
sion, the Rain Sensing Wipers will become inac -
tive even if the lever is in one of the intermittent
positions if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL
and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph
(5 km/h). This prevents damage to the wind -
shield wipers during an automatic car wash.
NOTE:

The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.

The Rain Sensing feature may not function
properly when ice, or dried salt water is
present on the windshield.
