Moisture sensitive wipers (if equipped)
The moisture sensitive wipers will automatically activate when moisture
is present on the windshield and the multifunction switch is set to one of
five Auto sensitivity settings. The five Auto sensitivity settings determine
how often the wipers will wipe based upon the moisture on the
windshield. Rotating the knob from the Auto position towards the
windshield selects a higher sensitivity and more wipes will occur. For
fewer wipes, select a lower setting.
The wipers will continue to wipe as
long as the presence of moisture is
detected on the windshield. The
number of wipes that occur will vary
based on the amount of moisture
detected on the windshield and the
Auto setting. The sensitivity to
moisture is automatically increased
at night. When the ignition is turned ON, the wipers will perform one
wipe if one of the five Auto settings is selected.
