Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers for the
driver. The feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the windshield wash-
ers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of five settings to
activate this feature.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with a touch-
screen, this feature can be programmed
through the Uconnect® system. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a touch-
screen, this feature can be programmed
through the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” or “Driver Information Display (DID)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay posi-
tion 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay
position 5 is the most sensitive. Setting 3 should
be used for normal rain conditions. Settings 1
and 2 can be used if the driver desires less
wiper sensitivity. Setting 4 and 5 can be used if
the driver desires more sensitivity. Place the
wiper switch in the 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 func-
tion properly when ice, or dried salt water
is present on the windshield.
•
Use of Rain-X® or products containing
wax or silicone may reduce Rain Sensing
performance.
The Rain Sensing system has protection fea-
tures for the wiper blades and arms, and will not
operate under the following conditions:
•
Low Ambient Temperature — When the
ignition is first turned ON, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch
is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature is
greater than 32°F (0°C).
•
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position —
When the ignition is ON, and the transmis-
sion is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain
Sensing system will not operate until the
wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), or the shift lever
is moved out of the NEUTRAL position.
