Rainsense™ II Wipers
For vehicles with Rainsense™ II
windshield wipers, the moisture

ve settings adjusts the sensitivity
of the sensor.Since different drivers have
different setting preferences, it is
recommended that the mid-range
setting (position 3) be used initially.
For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the
lower settings located closer to the
off position on the multifunction lever.
The sensor will automatically control
the frequency of the wipes from the
off setting to the high speed setting
according to the weather conditions.
The wipers can be left in a rainsense
mode even when it is not raining.
