Wiper Parking
If the vehicle is turned off while the wipers
are on LO, HI, or AUTO with Rainsense
turned off, they will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then moved
to OFF before the driver door is opened or
within 10 minutes, the wipers will restart
and move to the base of the windshield.
If the vehicle is turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing or Rainsense, the wipers continue
to run until they reach the base of the
windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense and the feature
is turned on, a sensor near the top center of
the windshield detects the amount of water
on the windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper based on
the current sensitivity setting.
