yellowblue The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed depending on the amount of moisture and the sensitivity level. The MIST and "wash" cycles operate as normal and are not affected by the Rainsense function. NOTICE: The wipers must be turned off when going through a car wash to avoid damage. The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the wiper stalk to one of the five sensitivity levels within the AUTO DELAY area. The AUTO DELAY position closest to OFF is the lowest sensitivity setting. This allows more water to collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the stalk away from you to the other AUTO DELAY settings increases the sensitivity of the system and frequency of wipes. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level. An initial wipe occurs when you turn the ignition on as a reminder that Rainsense is active. The windshield wipers also remain in a "high park" position (the wipers will stop on the windshield rather than their fully- rested position), even when the ignition is turned off. It is important to note that the Rainsense wiping feature (AUTO DELAY) can be overridden at any time by manually changing the wiper control to LO or HI speed. Note: If you ever need to replace the windshield, make sure it is Rainsense compatible. 2-38
