The RainsenseTM system is activated by moving the wiper lever up to the INT position and turning the INT ADJ band to one of the five sensitivity levels within the delay area. The bottom INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. You can increase the sensitivity of the system and the frequency of wipes by turning the INT ADJ band away from you to the higher sensitivity levels. The top position is the highest sensitivity setting, level five. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the INT ADJ 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. Windshield Washer The lever on the right side of your steering column also controls your windshield washer. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the button on the end of the lever. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your preset speed. For more washer cvcles, push and hold the button. 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. In freezing weather, don't use your 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. If the fluid level in the windshield washer bottle is low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on the DIC. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-38. Notice: 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. 3-10

The RainsenseTM
system is activated by moving the
wiper lever up to the INT position and turning the
INT ADJ
band to one
of
the five sensitivity levels within
the delay area.
The bottom INT ADJ position is
the

snow to collect on the windshield between wipes.
You can increase the sensitivity of the system and the
frequency of wipes by turning the INT
ADJ band
away from you to the higher sensitivity levels. The top
position is the highest sensitivity setting, level five.
A single wipe will occur each time you
turn
the INT
ADJ
band
to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the
sensitivity level has
been increased.
Notice:

system
can
be overridden at
any time by manually
changing the wiper control to
