Windshield Washer - Cadillac 2008 CTS Owner's Manual

The level one or lowest setting is at the bottom of the
band. This setting lets more rain or snow collect on the
windshield between wipes. Turn the delay band
forward to a higher setting to let less rain or snow collect
on the windshield between wipes.
The top position is the highest setting. A single wipe
occurs each time the delay band is turned to a higher
setting to indicate that the Rainsense™
increased.
Notice: Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
The mist and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The
Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any time by
manually changing the wiper control to low or high
speed. The system will default to normal time delay
operation if the Rainsensor detects something that would
affect Rainsense™ operation.
When Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps turn on
automatically. If it is dark, they remain on. See
"Wiper-Activated Headlamps" under Wiper Activated
Headlamps on page 3-17 for more information.
Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on
the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.
