Headlamp Washer - Cadillac ATS Owner's Manual

5-4 Instruments and Controls
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense, a
sensor near the top centre of the
windscreen detects the amount of
water on the windscreen and
controls the frequency of the
windscreen wiper.
Keep this area of the windscreen
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
INT (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity
Control): Move the windscreen
wiper stalk to INT. Turn the
band on the wiper stalk to adjust the
sensitivity.
Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
Move the windscreen wiper lever
out of the INT position to
deactivate Rainsense.
This feature can be changed. See
Comfort and Convenience under
Vehicle Personalisation on
page 5-41.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windscreen wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windscreen wipers.
INT With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windscreen.
The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
n
(Windscreen Washer): Pull
the windscreen wiper lever toward
you to spray windscreen washer
fluid and activate the wipers. The
wipers will continue until the lever is
released or the maximum wash time
is reached. When the windscreen
wiper lever is released, additional
wipes may occur depending on how
long the windscreen washer had
been activated. See Washer Fluid
on page 10-17 for information on
filling the windscreen washer fluid
reservoir.
Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windscreen is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windscreen, blocking your vision.

Headlamp Washer

If equipped with headlamp washers,
they are located to the side of the
headlamps.
The headlamps must be on in order
to use the headlamp washers. If the
headlamps are not on, only the
windscreen will be washed.
