: 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
has been activated. See Washer Fluid
0 247 for information on filling the
windscreen washer fluid reservoir.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windscreen before using
them. If frozen to the windscreen,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0 252.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See Electrical System
Overload 0 255.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, they will
immediately stop.
If the windscreen 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 windscreen.
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windscreen washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windscreen.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense and the
feature is turned on, 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 based on the
current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windscreen clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO : Move the windscreen wiper
stalk to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper stalk to adjust the sensitivity.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
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 AUTO position to
deactivate Rainsense.
To turn the Rainsense feature on or
off, see Rainsense Wipers under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 144.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windscreen wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windscreen wipers.
