RainsenseTM II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior of the windshield below 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 will operate in the delay, low speed and
high speed modes.
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 RainsenseTM system is active.
The RainsenseTM system is activated by turning the
wiper control band to one of the five sensitivity levels
within the delay area. The delay position closest to
OFF/MIST is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one.
The highest sensitivity setting, level five, is closest to the
LO position. A single wipe will occur each time you turn
the wiper control band
to a higher sensitivity level to
indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice: The wipers must be turned off when
going through a car wash
to avoid damage.
The
MIST and wash cycles operate as normal and
are not affected by the RainsenseTM function.
The system can be overridden at any time by manually
changing the wiper control
to LO or HI speed.
Notices Do not place stickers or other items on
the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the rainsensor. Doing this could cause the
rainsensor to malfunction.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signaVmultifunction lever, there’s a
paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid
on the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will clear
the window and either stop or return
to your preset speed.
For more washer cycles, push and hold the paddle.
In freezing weather, don’t use
I lr washer
until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Ice build up can block washer nozzles. Remove ice for
proper operation.
See
Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-39 for more
