Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 Operating Information Manual page 118

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield 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 neces-
sary. Rotate the end of the lever downward 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 windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.

Mist Control
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.
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 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.
• A customer programmable feature in the
Electronic Vehicle Information
(EVIC) allows the Rain Sensing feature to
be turned off. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Set-
tings (Customer-Programmable Features)"
in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel"
for further information.
