O P E R A T I N G Y O U R V E H I C L E
• 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 "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in the Owner's
Manual on www.dodge.com/en/owners/manuals for further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
• Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first turned ON, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
• Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the ignition is ON, and the automatic
transmission is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not operate
until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the
gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL position. This is to disable the wiper system
while going through an automatic car wash.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition switch in the RUN position, rain
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no other inhibit
conditions (mentioned previously) exist.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer

The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the multifunction lever on the left 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.
Rotating the center portion upward once more will activate the washer pump which will
continue to operate as long as the switch is held. Upon release of the switch, the wipers
will resume the continuous rear wiper operation. When this rotary control is in the OFF
position, rotating it downward will activate the rear washer pump which will continue to
operate as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released it will return to the OFF
position. The wipers will cycle several times before returning to the parked position.
