® to communicate
with your phone. Turn Bluetooth
mode on in your phone’s menu
options. This lets your phone find
SYNC. If you need more details on
setting up your phone with SYNC,
visit syncmyride.com, or your phone
manufacturer’s website.
Pairing your phone with SYNC:

its controls to operate the
front and rear wipers.
• Single wipe - Pull the
stalk down.
• Intermittent wipe - Raise
the stalk upward to
position 1.
• Normal wipe - Raise the
stalk upward to position 2.
• High speed wipe -
Raise the stalk to its
highest position.
Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper stalk in
intermittent mode allows
the driver to set the amount
of time between wipes.
Use the rotary control on the wiper stalk to adjust the
intermittent wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control upward
for short wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control downward
for long wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed
increases, the interval
between wipes will decrease.
Auto Wipers*
The wipers function when
moisture is detected on the
windshield, and will adjust
the speed of the wipers
automatically. Use the
rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain-sensor.
• Low sensitivity - the wipers
will automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
large amount of moisture
on the windshield.
• High sensitivity - The
wipers will automatically
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of moisture
on the windshield.
Note: In order for the sensors
to operate properly, keep the
outside of the windshield
clean. Dirt, bugs and
excessive road debris can
cover the sensor and prevent
it from detecting rain.
To reduce smearing, we
recommend the following: • Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
• Switch to normal or high
speed wipes.
• Switch the autowipers off.
