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.

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.

activated. See Washer Fluid0256
for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information

operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See
Compass
Messages 0140 for the messages
that may be displayed for the
compass.
