Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/washer
lever toward the steering wheel to activate. The wipers
will activate automatically for three cycles after the
lever is released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for three cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the wind-
shield during freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
Mist
Use the Mist 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 wind-
shield. The washer function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
page 223.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS —
IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of two detent positions
for intermittent settings to activate this feature.
NOTE:
If the windshield wiper lever is rotated from the O (off)
position to the first intermittent setting or from the first
intermittent setting to the second intermittent setting,
the wipers will perform an immediate wipe cycle to
clean the windshield.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
windshield wiper lever. Wiper delay position one is the
least sensitive, and wiper delay position two is the most
sensitive. Place the wiper switch in the O (off) position
when not using the system.
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.
•
Use of products containing wax or silicone may
reduce Rain Sensing performance.
•
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
using the Uconnect system
page 136.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for
the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under
the following conditions:
•
Low Ambient Temperature
— When the ignition is
first placed in the ON position, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch is
moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater than
32°F (0°C).
•
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position
— When the igni-
tion is ON, and the automatic transmission is in the
NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not
operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle
speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear
selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL position.
•
Remote Start Mode Inhibit
— On vehicles equipped
with a Remote Start system, Rain Sensing wipers
are not operational when the vehicle is in the
Remote Start mode.
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in three
ways:
•
Moving the lever from the O (off) position to the
intermittent positions.
•
One Mist command actuation.
•
The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and the
rain sensor detects the presence of rain.
NOTE:
In the event of a rain sensor failure, a dedicated telltale
on the instrument cluster will appear to warn the cus-
tomer (if equipped).
