Instruments and Controls 109
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.
If the ignition is changed to LOCK/
OFF while the wipers are performing
wipes due to windshield washing or
Rainsense, the wipers continue to
run until they reach the base of the
windshield.
Rainsense™
If equipped with Rainsense, a
sensor located near the top center
of the windshield detects the
amount of water on the windshield
and automatically controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.
When Rainsense is enabled, the
normal intermittent control operates
as a sensitivity control.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
AUTO :Move the windshield wiper
lever to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity.
. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
. Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
. Move the windshield wiper lever
out of the AUTO position to
deactivate Rainsense.
To enable or disable this feature,
see “Rainsense Wipers” under
Vehicle Personalization 0149. Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers and/or
manual windshield wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
Windshield Washer
f:
Pull the windshield wiper
lever toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the
lever is released, additional wipes
may occur depending on how long
the windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid0256
for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to

P (Park).
. The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL system is on, only

If equipped with the AFL System,
the headlamps pivot horizontally to
provide greater road illumination
while turning.
To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp
control to the AUTO position.
Moving the control out of AUTO will
deactivate the system. AFL will
operate when the vehicle speed is
greater than 3 km/h (2 mph). AFL
