Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on
the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will
occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The Rainsense™ wipers operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as
needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the
windshield. This is normal and indicates that the
Rainsense™ system is activated.
To activate the Rainsense™ system, turn the wiper
band to delay mode and select one of the four sensitivity
levels indicated on the wiper stalk. The position
closest to off is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one.
This allows more rain or snow to collect on the
windshield between wipes. Turning the wiper band away
from you to higher sensitivity levels increases the
sensitivity of the system and frequency of wipes.The highest sensitivity setting, level four, is closest to
low. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the
wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that
the sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice:Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
The mist and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The
Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any time by
manually turning the wiper band to low or high speed.
When Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps will turn on
automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once
the wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it
is dark, they will remain on. SeeWiper Activated
Headlamps on page 3-35.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items on
the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.

turn on the parking lamps together with the following:
Sidemarker Lamps
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights

listed lamps and lights.
IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read this
entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to your vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on your
rearview mirror, this system will turn the vehicle’s
high-beam headlamps on and off according to
surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system will turn your high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other
traffic present, and the IntelliBeam™ system is
enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
AUTO3(IntelliBeam™ On/Off):Press and release
the IntelliBeam™ button on the inside rear view
mirror. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror turn on
to let you know the system has been turned on.
Once the system has been turned on, it will remain on
each time the vehicle is started. Additionally, the
IntelliBeam™ system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam™ System, turn the exterior
lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction
lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light
will appear on the instrument panel cluster when
the high-beams are on. SeeHighbeam On Light on
page 3-72. Your vehicle is equipped with variable
intensity high-beams. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel will illuminate as soon as the
high-beams start to come on, and will remain on until
the high-beams have completely turned off. All
IntelliBeam™ equipped vehicles, however, will quickly
turn off the high-beams if the system detects the sudden
presence of vehicle lights ahead.
3-32

Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ will only activate your high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps will remain on, under the
control of IntelliBeam™, until any of the following
situations occur:
The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle’s taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
The high-beam headlamps are manually turned on
or you use the ash-to-pass feature. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8and
Flash-to-Pass on page 3-12.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam™ feature will be temporarily disabled
until the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral
position. If either of these conditions occur and
IntelliBeam™ already has the high-beam headlamps
on, the IntelliBeam™ feature will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam™ light in the mirror will turn off.
The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting
except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam™ will be disabled until
the control is turned back to the AUTO position and
the AUTOMATIC LIGHTS ON message is displayed
on the DIC.
The IntelliBeam™ system is turned off at the inside
rearview mirror.
The vehicle’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h).
IntelliBeam™ may not turn off the high-beams if the
system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of
any of the following:
The others vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view or otherwise undetected.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt,
snow and/or road spray.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due
to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray,
mist or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of the
IntelliBeam™ light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze or other obstructions.
3-33

Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam™
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at
the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam™ can be disabled and reset to the original
factory setting by using the controls on the inside
rearview mirror.
AUTO
3(IntelliBeam™ On/Off):To disable the
system, press this button on the inside rearview mirror.
The IntelliBeam™ indicator will turn off and the will
not come back on until the IntelliBeam™ button
is pressed again.
When IntelliBeam™ has turned on the high-beams, pull
or push the high-beam stalk. This will disable
IntelliBeam™. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror
will turn off. To re-enable IntelliBeam™, press the
IntelliBeam™ button on the mirror.A different sensitivity setting is available for dealer
diagnostics. This is done by pushing and holding this
button for 20 seconds until the light ashes three times.
If you accidentally activate this, the vehicle’s setting
will automatically be reset each time the ignition
is turned off and then on again; otherwise, refer to
the text above for resetting the system.
Cleaning the IntelliBeam™ Light Sensor
The light sensor is located
on the inside of the vehicle
in front of the inside
rearview mirror.
Clean the light sensor window, periodically, using glass
cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the sensor
window. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the
surface of the sensor window.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system is
designed to help you park while the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). It operates only at very low speeds, less
than 3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help make parking
easier and help you avoid colliding with objects such as
parked vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects
up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you how
close these objects are from your rear bumper.
{CAUTION:
Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist
system, the driver must check carefully before
backing up. The system does not operate above
typical backing speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) while
parking. And, the system does not detect
objects that are more than 5 feet (1.5 meters)
behind the vehicle.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
So, unless you check carefully behind you
before and when you back up, you could strike
children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind
you, and they could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using rear park assist,
always check carefully behind your vehicle
before you back up and then watch closely as
you do.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
above the rear window.
It has three color-coded
lights that can be seen
through the rearview mirror
or by turning around.
