RAIN SENSOR

in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.
Activation/deactivation

By acting on the display menu or on the
Uconnect
™
system you can
activate/deactivate the rain sensor. The
sensor can also be deactivated by
bringing the ignition device to STOP.
The activation of the sensor is signalled
by a "stroke" to show that the
command has been acquired.

position, leaving the ring nut A fig. 29
in
1
or 2 , when the vehicle is
next started (ignition device at MAR),

to position to operate the rear
window wiper as follows:
❒
in intermittent mode when the
windscreen wiper is not operating;
❒
in synchronous mode (at half the
speed of the windscreen wiper) when
the windscreen wiper is operating;
❒
in continuous mode with reverse gear
engaged and the control active.

WARNING
20) Make sure the device is switched off
whenever the windscreen must be
cleaned.
WARNING
7) Do not use the screen wiper to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In such conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor cut-out switch, which
prevents operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not subsequently
restored, even after the vehicle is restarted,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
8) Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with blades lifted from the windscreen.
9) Do not activate the rain sensor while
washing the vehicle in an automatic
washing system.

sure that the device was disconnected
properly.
