Understanding the Vehicle
CAUTION!
• Turn the washer acting on the
windshield and on the window of
the liftgate wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. The
windshield wipers may be damaged
if the wiper control is left in any
position other than “OFF”.
• In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield and/or to
the window of the liftgate, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
•
Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the
wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off
position, the wiper motor may be
damaged.
Windshield Wipers
• Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the four settings to
activate the automatic intermittent
setting (see “Rain Sensing Wipers”
paragraph in this chapter).
• For low speed wiper operation
(stable position "LO"): rotate the end
of the multifunction control lever
forward to the first trigger after the
intermittent setting.
• Rotate to the second trigger after the
intermittent setting for high-speed
(stable position HI) wiper operation.
• Rotate the end of the lever backward
to the “MIST” position to activate
a single wipe cycle. The wipers will
continue to operate until you release
the multifunction lever.
• To turn the wipers off rotate the
lever to “OFF”.
Rain Sensing Windshield
Wipers (for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature detects moisture on the
windshield through an internal rear-
view mirror integrated sensor, which
automatically activates the relative
wipers.
Rotate forward the end of the
multifunction lever to one of four
settings to adjust the detection system.
First wiper delay position is the least
sensitive, and fourth wiper delay
position is the most sensitive. Third
position should be used for normal
rain conditions.
The rain sense wipers will
automatically change between an
intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a
fast wipe depending on the amount
of detected moisture sensed by a
particular area of the windshield.
Place the wiper switch in the “OFF”
position when you do not want to use
the automatic intermittent system.
The rain sensing feature can be
turned on and off using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further information.
CAUTION!
•
The rain sensing feature may not
function properly due to ice or dried
salt water on the windshield.
