moved, the vehicle speed becomes greater
than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside tempera-
ture rises above freezing the rain-sensing
feature will then operate.

feature will not operate when the ignition is
ON, and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL
position, and the vehicle speed is less than
5 mph (8 km/h), unless the wiper control is
moved or the shift lever is moved out of the
NEUTRAL position.
