OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Rain Sensing Wipers – Inhibition
When the user switches the ignition to STOP, leaving the lever in intermittent
positions, no wipe cycle is performed for safety reasons. This temporary inhibition
avoids accidental activations of the wiping (e.g during the hand washing of the
windscreen, blocking the blades in ice/snow conditions). The user can activate the
Rain Sensing Wipers in three ways:
• Moving the level in OFF position and then in Intermittent positions.
• One MIST command actuation.
• The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and the rain sensor detects the
presence of rain.
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 function 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.
• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off using the Uconnect System,
refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" in the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for further information.
Rear Wiper Operation
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the lever on the right side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch, located at
the middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and hold while spray is desired. If the lever
is pushed while in the intermittent setting, the wiper will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the end of the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position, the wiper will operate for
several wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch is held for more than 30
seconds. Once the lever is released, the pump will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned to the STOP/OFF position,
the wiper will automatically return to the "park" position.
