AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,snow or salty road mist can causeinconsistent and unexpected wiping orsmearing.
Autowipers On.A
High sensitivity.B
Low sensitivity.C
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the autowipers.
When you select low sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a largeamount of water on the windshield. Whenyou select high sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a smallamount of water on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and thewipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hitthe windshield.
In these conditions, you can do the following:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing on thewindshield.
•Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•Switch autowipers off.
Note:Fully defrost the windshield before youswitch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure that you switch thewindshield wipers off before entering a carwash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. If that does not resolve theissue, install new wiper blades.
Note:If you switch autolamps andautowipers on, the headlamps turn on whenthe windshield wipers continuously operate.
Autowipers Settings
This setting defaults to on and remains onuntil you switch it off in the informationdisplay.
When you switch off autowipers, the wipersoperate in intermittent mode.
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit (If Equipped)
The rain sensing feature will not operateimmediately after starting your vehicle whenit is in park (P) and the outside temperatureis below 32°F (0°C). You can switch on thewipers by adjusting the rain sensor sensitivityor adjusting the wiper speed.
This prevents damage to the wiper bladesfrom ice and snow on the windshield.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in the Exterior FrontLamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps havevents to accommodate normal changes inair pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-productof this design. When moist air enters thelamp assembly through the vents, there is apossibility that condensation can occur whenthe temperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a fine mist can form onthe interior of the lens. The fine misteventually clears and exits through the ventsduring normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hoursunder dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,drip marks or large droplets).
•A fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
•A water puddle inside the lamp.
•Streaks, drip marks or large dropletspresent on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,have your vehicle checked by an authorizeddealer.
