MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER
Windshield wiper:
Rotate the end
of the control away from you to
increase the speed of the wipers;
rotate towards you to decrease the
speed of the wipers.
Rain sensing wipers:
The rain
sensing wipers will automatically
activate when moisture is present
on the windshield and the multi-function switch is set to one of five
auto/interval moisture sensitivity settings. Rotate the end of the control
toward the windshield to increase the sensitivity. The speed of the rain
sensitive wipers will vary based on the amount of moisture detected on
the windshield and the auto/interval setting. There are no interval
(intermittent wipe) settings on vehicles with rain sensing wipers. The
wipers will continue to wipe as long as the presence of moisture is
detected on the windshield. More or less wiping may occur depending on
humidity, mist or light rain, or road spray.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
rear view mirror where the sensor is located or rain sensor performance
may be affected.
Note:
During winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these
conditions, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the amount of
smearing or override the feature by selecting low- or high-speed wiping
or turning the wiper system off.
Note:
The rain sensing wiper feature must be turned off before entering
a car wash.
Windshield washer:
Press the end
of the stalk:
•
briefly: causes a single swipe of
the wipers without washer fluid.
•
a quick press and hold: the
wipers will swipe three times with washer fluid.
•
a long press and hold: the wipers and washer fluid will be activated for
up to ten seconds.
