UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103 Rain Sensing Wipers This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multi-function lever to one of six settings to activate this feature. The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the multi-function lever. Wiper delay position 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position 6 is the most sensitive. Settings 3-4 should be used for normal rain conditions. Settings 2 or 1 can be used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Settings 5 and 6 can be used if the driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF position when not using the system. 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 sensor performance. • The rain sensing system will not operate when the engine is running, the gear selector is in the PARK position, and the outside temperature is below freezing. This is done to protect the wiper blades from damage. Place the gear selector in the DRIVE position to allow the rain sensing feature to operate. • A customer programmable feature in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) allows the Rain Sense feature to be turned off. Refer to "Personal Settings" in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center section of this manual for details. Mist Feature Push the wiper lever in to activate a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is pushed in, the wipers will continue to operate. 3
