washing of the windscreen, blocking the

when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function

Rear Wiper Operation
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.
NOTE:
If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will per-
form one round up to clean the rear window.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward
to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation. If the front wiper is set to
Automatic Mode (on the wiper stalk as well as
“Enabled” through Uconnect settings), plac-
ing the rear wiper in an intermittent position
will cause the front and rear wipers to sync
up. Turning the front wipers off will cause the
rear wipers to also stop.
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 interval
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 seconds.
Once the lever is released, the pump will
resume normal operation.
