Windshield Washer - Cadillac 1998 Eldorado Owner's Manual

The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the
wiper stalk to one
of
the five sensitivity levels within
the AUTO DELAY area. The AUTO DELAY position
closest to OFF is the lowest sensitivity setting. This
allows more water to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Rotating the stalk away from you to the other
AUTO DELAY settings increases the sensitivity of the
system and frequency of wipes. A single wipe will occur
each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity
level. An initial wipe occurs when you turn the ignition
on as a reminder that Rainsense is active. The
windshield wipers also remain in a "high park" position
(when the wipers are stopped on the windshield and are
not in its normal park position), even when the ignition
is turned off.
The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well as
a continuous low or high speed depending on the
amount of moisture and the sensitivity level. The MIST
and "wash" cycles operate as normal and are not
affected by the Rainsense function.

NOTICE:
I
The wipers must be turned off when going
through a car wash to avoid damage.
It
is
important to note that the Rainsense wiping feature
(AUTO DELAY) can be overridden at any time by
manually changing the wiper control to LO or HI speed.
If you ever need to replace the windshield, make sure it
is Rainsense compatible.
Windshield Washer
A
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever, there
is a paddle with the word PUSH on it. To spray washer
fluid on
the
windshield, press
and
release this paddle.
The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or
return to your preset speed. For more washer cycles,
press and hold the paddle.
LOW WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer
fluid reaches a low level.
