CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to
the windshield wipers may result if the
wiper control is left in any position other
than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind-
shield wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) and hold it
for as long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper control is in the delay range, the wipers
will operate for two wipe cycles after releasing
the lever and then resume the intermittent inter-
val previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper is turned off, the wipers will operate for
three wipe cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
Mist Feature
Rotate the end of the lever downward to the
MIST position to activate a single wipe cycle to
clear off road mist or spray from a passing
vehicle. The wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Headlights On With Wipers
When this feature is active, the headlights will
turn on after the wipers are turned on if the
headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position
and programmable feature is set to on. In addi-
tion, the headlights will turn off when the wipers
are turned off if they were turned on by this
feature.
NOTE:
The "Headlights On With Wipers" feature
can be turned on or off using the Uconnect
System.
Refer
to
"Uconnect
Customer Programmable Features" in "Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel" for fur-
ther information.
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 wash-
ers 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 1 is the
least sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is the
most sensitive. Setting 3 should be used for normal
rain conditions. Settings 1 and 2 can be used if the
driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting 4 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.
