Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for
the driver. The feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of four
settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most sensitive.
Setting three should be used for normal rain conditions. Settings one and two can be used
if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF position when not using the system.
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 "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in the Owners
Manual on the DVD 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
0 mph (0 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.
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.
