Rainsense windshield wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission is
in N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is

windshield. The wiper operations return to normal
when the transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has

L: 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
windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur depending
on how long the windshield washer
had been activated. See Washer Fluid
0 239 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak
®, and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
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
0 135 for the messages that may be
displayed for the compass.
Clock
The infotainment system controls are
used to access the time and date
settings through the menu system.

manual for information about how to
