RAIN SENSING WIPERS —
IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end
of the windshield wiper lever to one of the four detent
positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the
windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity position 1 is
the least sensitive, and wiper sensitivity position 4 is
the most sensitive.
NOTE:
•
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high position.
•
The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried saltwater is present on the
windshield.
•
Use of products containing wax or silicone may
reduce rain sensor performance.
•
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
through the Uconnect system
page 170.
The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
•
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is first
placed in the ON position, when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the outside temperature is below 32°F
(0°C), unless the wiper control on the windshield
wiper lever is moved, the vehicle speed becomes
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or the outside tem-
perature rises above freezing.
•
Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is ON, when the trans-
mission gear selector is in the NEUTRAL position
and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h),
unless the wiper control on the windshield wiper
lever is moved, the vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h) or the gear selector is moved out of
the NEUTRAL position.
•
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped
with the Remote Start 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
conditions (mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER
The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch,
located at the middle of the lever.
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.
Rear Window Washer Operation
Pushing the windshield wiper lever forward
activates the rear window washer. If the lever
is pushed while on the intermittent setting,
the wiper will turn on and operate for several
wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected. If the lever
is pushed while the wiper is in the off position, the
wiper will operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
When the rear window washer is activated, the rear
Back Up camera and Digital Rearview Mirror
(if equipped) cameras are also washed.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate the
temperature, air flow, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the
touchscreen and on the instrument panel below the
radio.
