Understanding the Vehicle
•
Use on the windshield of RainX
products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
The rain sensing system has protective
features for the wiper blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit : the
3
rain sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is in RUN position,
the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 0°C. To
resume, set the automatic feature
on the multifunction lever, start the
engine and drive or wait until the
outside temperature rises above
freezing.
• Wipe Inhibit with Transmission in
Neutral Position : the rain sensing
feature will not operate when the
ignition is placed in the RUN position,
the transmission shift lever is in the
N (Neutral) position and the vehicle
speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
resume, set the multifunction lever to
the automatic function or move the
shift lever out of N (Neutral).
Headlights On with Windshield
Wipers
When activating this function, the
headlights will light up approximately
10 seconds after the wipers acting
124
on the windshield are turned on if
®
or
the light switch is placed in "AUTO"
position.
In addition, the headlights switch
off when the wipers are turned
off (position "OFF") if they were
previously turned by using this
function.
Powering on Headlights with wipers
can be activated and deactivated with
the MTC+ System, see "MTC+ Settings"
in section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls" for further information.
Wipers Blades Maintenance
When the wiper arms acting on
the windshield are in the rest
position it is not possible to check
or replace the blades (Service
position) as they are folded under
the hood. To service the blades (see
paragraph "Wiper Maintenance and
Blades Replacement" in chapter
"Maintenance Procedures" of section
"Maintenance and Care") it is
necessary to shift the multifunction
lever to "OFF" and the ignition switch
to OFF position.
Shift the control lever within 15
seconds to the "MIST" position
(forward rotation of the end of the
multifunction control lever) and
release. The blades are brought in a
position enabling to open the wiper
arms and change the blades.
It is possible to use the "MIST"
position for a maximum of 3 times
within two minutes, corresponding to
different three blades positions on the
windshield. When completed, bring
the ignition switch in RUN : the arms
will reposition. If necessary move the
multifunction lever to other required
operating positions.
To change the wiper blade on rear
window of liftgate, simply lift the
wiper arm to detach it from window
(see paragraph "Wiper Maintenance
and Blades Replacement" in chapter
"Maintenance Procedures" of section
"Maintenance and Care").
