GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Mist
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle is needed, push the washer knob, located
on the end of the multifunction lever, inward briefly and
release. The wipers will cycle one time and automatically
shut off.
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.

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of five detent positions to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position 1 is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position 5 is the most sensitive.
Position 3 should be used for normal rain conditions.
Positions 1 and 2 can be used if the driver desires less
wiper sensitivity. Positions 4 and 5 can be used if the
driver desires more sensitivity. 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 wind
-
shield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce
Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
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 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 transmission 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 gear selector is moved out of the
NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped with
the Remote Start system, Rain Sensing wipers are not
operational when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle and has
placed the ignition switch in the RUN position, Rain
Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions (mentioned
previously) exist.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate the
temperature, air flow, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the
touchscreen, on the sides of the touchscreen (if
equipped), or on the instrument panel below the radio.
