Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture
sensor is mounted on the interior of the windshield
beside the rearview mirror and is used to
automatically operate the wipers. This system
operates by monitoring the amount of moisture
build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed
to clear the windshield depending on the driving
conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain
or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain
or snow, wipes will occur more frequently.
The system operates in the delay mode. If the
system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture
on the windshield. This is normal and indicates
that the Rainsense™ system is active.
The Rainsense™ system is activated by turning the
wiper control band to one of the five sensitivity
levels within the delay area. The position closest to
off is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one.
This allows more rain or snow to collect on the
windshield between wipes. Turning the wiper band
away from you to higher sensitivity levels increases
the sensitivity of the system and frequency of
wipes. The highest sensitivity setting, level five is
closest to low. A single wipe will occur each time
you turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level
to indicate that the sensitivity level has been
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 system can be overridden at any time
by manually changing the wiper control to low or
high speed.
Notice: Do not place stickers or other items
on the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the rain sensor. Doing this could cause the
rain sensor to malfunction.
