46 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Rain Sensor
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function
properly when ice, or dried salt water is
present on the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or
silicone may reduce Rain Sensing perfor-
mance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on
and off through Uconnect Settings
Ú page 159.
The Rain Sensing system has protection
features for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
Change In Ignition Position — If the vehicle is
in Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is
cycled from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will be
suppressed until vehicle speed is greater
than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is
moved out of and back into the Intermittent
wipe position.
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — The
Rain Sensing system will not operate if the
NEUTRAL gear is selected at speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less unless the wiper
switch is moved or the gear selector is moved
out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain
Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit condi-
tions (mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the windshield wiper/washer lever on the right
side of the steering column. The rear wiper/
washer is operated by rotating a switch, located
at the middle of the lever.
NOTE:
If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform
one round up to clean the rear window.
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for
intermittent operation and to the
second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation. If the front wiper is set to
Automatic Mode (on the wiper lever as well as
enabled through Uconnect Settings), placing
the rear wiper in an intermittent position will
cause the front and rear wipers to sync up.
Turning the front wipers off will cause the rear
wipers to also stop.
To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is
desired. If the lever is pushed while the
wiper is in the off position, the wiper
will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
