Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen to
the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged wiper blades
should be replaced. SeeWiper Blade
Replacement 0297.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. An internal circuit
breaker to the motor will stop the
motor until it cools down.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on
w,1, or3INT,
they will immediately stop.
If
zFRONT 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 turned 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
With Rainsense, a sensor near the top
center of the windshield detects the
amount of water on the windshield
and controls the frequency of the
windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
3INT : Turn thezFRONT band
on the wiper lever to adjust the
sensitivity when Rainsense is
turned on.
. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
. Turn the band down to lower INT
setting for less sensitivity to
moisture.
Move the band out of the
3INT
position to deactivate Rainsense.
zAUTO : Press to turn Rainsense
on or off. When turned on and
z
FRONT is in one of the Rainsense
wipe sensitivity positions the wipers
can be adjusted for more or less
sensitivity to moisture. When turned
off, the wipers operate as timed
intermittent wipers and can be
adjusted for more or less frequent
wipes.
If
zAUTO is turned on when the
ignition is turned on, or if the ignition
is on and the
zFRONT band is in
one of the sensitivity settings when
zAUTO is turned on or off, a
message may display indicating if
Rainsense was turned on or off.
If the ignition is on and
zFRONT
is not in one of the sensitivity settings
when
zAUTO is turned on, a
