124 Instruments and Controls
If the ignition is put in 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™
With Rainsense, 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.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
3 INT (Rainsense Wipe
Sensitivity) : Turn the
z FRONT
band on the wiper lever to adjust the
sensitivity when Rainsense is
turned on.
.
Turn the band up to a higher INT
setting for more sensitivity to
moisture.
.
Turn the band down to the lower
INT setting for less sensitivity to
moisture.
Move the band out of the
3 INT
position to deactivate Rainsense.
z AUTO (Rainsense On/Off) :
Press to turn Rainsense on or off.
When turned on and
z FRONT is
in one of the Rainsense wipe
sensitivity positions, the wipers can
be adjusted for more or less
sensitivity to moisture by adjusting
the INT position. When turned off,
the wipers operate as timed
intermittent wipers and can be
adjusted for more or less frequent
wipes.
If
z AUTO is on when the ignition
is turned on, or if the ignition is in
ON/RUN and the
z FRONT band
is in one of the sensitivity settings
when
z AUTO is turned on or off,
a message may display indicating if
Rainsense was turned on or off.
If the ignition is in ON/RUN and
z
FRONT is not in one of the
sensitivity settings when
z AUTO
is turned on, a message may
display indicating that the wiper
band must be in one of the
sensitivity settings for Rainsense to
operate.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers may
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
