Rain Sensing Wipers - Chrysler 300 2017 Owner's Manual

Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather condi-
tions make a single wiping cycle with a variable
pause between cycles desirable. Rotate the end
of the multifunction lever to the first detent
position, and then turn the end of the lever to
select the desired delay interval. There are four
delay settings, which allow you to regulate the
wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every
second to a maximum of approximately 36 sec-
onds between cycles. The delay intervals will
double in duration when the vehicle speed is
10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
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.

Rain Sensing Wipers

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the wip-
ers for the driver. The feature is especially useful
for road splash or over spray from the wind-
shield 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
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 sensitiv-
ity. Setting 4 can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. The rain sensing wipers will
automatically change between an intermittent
wipe, slow wipe and a fast wipe depending on
the amount of moisture that is sensed on the
windshield. Place the wiper switch in the OFF
position when not using the system.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off using the Uconnect System, refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" for further
information.
NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper speed is in the low or high
position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function
properly when ice or dried salt water is pres-
ent on the windshield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or
silicone may reduce rain sensor perfor-
mance.
