5-4 Instruments and Controls Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades and windshield before using them. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced. See Wiper Blade Replacement on page 10-28. Rainsense™ If equipped 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. INT (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity Control): Move the windshield wiper lever to INT. Turn the x INT band on the wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity. INT (Intermittent Wipes): Move the lever up to INT for intermittent wipes, then turn the x INT band up for more frequent wipes or down for less frequent wipes. If the windshield wipers are in use for about six seconds while driving, the exterior lamps come on automatically if the exterior lamp control is in AUTO. See "Lights On with Wipers" under Automatic Headlamp System on page 6-4. OFF: Use to turn the wipers off. 1X (Mist): For a single wipe, briefly move the wiper lever down. For several wipes, hold the wiper lever down. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. Wiper Parking If the ignition is put in OFF while the wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they will immediately stop. If the windshield wiper lever is then moved to OFF before the driver door is opened or within 10 minutes, the wipers will restart and move to the base of the windshield. If the ignition is put in OFF while the wipers are performing wipes due to windshield washing, the wipers continue to run until they reach the base of the windshield. . Turn the band up for more sensitivity to moisture. Turn the band down for less sensitivity to moisture. .
