Note:
Turn off the Rainsense wipers

The Rainsense™ II windshield wipers use a moisture sensor to automatically
operate the wipers when needed, depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. If the system is left on for long periods, an occasional wipe
may occur without any moisture on the windshield to indicate the system
is activated.
The headlamps and parking lamps also will be turned on automatically when
the Rainsense wipers are active if the exterior lamp control switch is in the
AUTO position. The controls for the windshield wipers are located on the
multifunction stalk on the left side of the steering column.
