Your vehicle may be equipped with RainsenseTM ii
wipers. The moisture sensor for this feature is mounted
on the interior side of the windshield below the
rearview mirror and is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up
on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear
the windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes
will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The RainsenseTM wipers operate in a
delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed
as needed. If the system is left on for long periods
of time, occasional wipes may occur without any
moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates
that the RainsenseTM system is activated.
The RainsenseTM system can be activated by moving
the wiper stalk up to the INT position and turning the INT
ADJ band to one of the five sensitivity levels. The
bottom INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity setting,
level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on
the windshield between wipes. Turning the INT ADJ
band away from you to the higher sensitivity levels
allows less rain or snow to collect on the windshield
between wipes.
The
top
positior! is the highest sensitivity setting, !eve!
five. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the INT
ADJ band to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that
the sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice: The wipers must be turned off when going
through a car wash to avoid damage.
The MIST and "wash" cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the RainsenseTM function. The
RainsenseTM system can be overridden at any time by
manually changing the wiper control to LO or HI
speed.
When RainsenseTM is active, the headlamps will turn on
automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once
the wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it
is dark, they will remain on. See Wiper-Activated
Headlamps under Exterior Lamps

information.
Nofice: Do not place stickers or other items on the
moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.
