Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO, they
will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing, the wipers
continue to run until they reach the
base of the windshield.
Rainsense
With Rainsense, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the
sensitivity of the windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
AUTO : If Rainsense is enabled,
move the windshield wiper lever to
AUTO. Turn the band on the wiper
lever to adjust the sensitivity.
Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
Instruments and Controls
Move the windshield wiper lever
out of the AUTO position to
deactivate Rainsense.
To enable or disable this feature,
see Rainsense Wipers under
Vehicle Personalization 0 150.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,

Rainsense windshield wipers.

automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
: Pull the windshield wiper
lever toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the
windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur
