76 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Illuminated Entry
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the key fob to
unlock the doors or open any door.
This feature also turns on the puddle lamps located beneath
the outside mirrors (if equipped).
The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds, or
they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is
turned to ON/RUN from the OFF position.
The front courtesy overhead console and door courtesy
lights will not turn off if the Dome On button on the over-
head console is pushed.
The illuminated entry system will not operate if the Dome
Defeat button on the overhead console is pushed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Illuminated Approach lights
under the outside mirrors, they can also be turned off by
pushing the Dome Defeat button.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
Windshield Wipers
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch in the
multifunction lever. Turn the end of the lever to select the
desired wiper speed.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first detent past the
intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate
the end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation.

78 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Mist Feature
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle is needed, push the washer knob, located on
the end of the multifunction lever, inward to the first detent
and release. The wipers will cycle one time and automati-
cally shut off.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; there -
fore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the windshield. The
wash function must be used in order to spray the windshield
with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automat -
ically activates the wipers for the driver. The feature is espe -
cially useful for road splash or overspray from the
windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of five settings to activate this
feature.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information. The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the multi
-
function lever. Wiper delay position 1 is the least sensitive,
and wiper delay position 5 is the most sensitive. Position 3
should be used for normal rain conditions. Positions 1 and 2
can be used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Posi -
tions 4 and 5 can be used if the driver desires more sensi -
tivity. Place the wiper switch in the O (off) position when not
using the system.
NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly when ice, or dried salt water is present on the windshield.
• Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the
wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first
turned ON, the Rain Sensing system will not operate until
the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater than
32°F (0°C).

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 517
• Belt broken (note: identify and correct problem before newbelt is installed)
• Noise (objectionable squeal, squeak, or rumble is heard or felt while drive belt is in operation)
Some conditions can be caused by a faulty component such
as a belt pulley. Belt pulleys should be carefully inspected for
damage and proper alignment.
Belt replacement on some models requires the use of special
tools, we recommend having your vehicle serviced at an
authorized dealer.
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat
tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate,
decklid, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based grease, such as Mopar
Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to
remove dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease
should be removed. Particular attention should also be given
to hood latching components to ensure proper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and
lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year,
preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount of a
high quality lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubri
-
cant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the wind -
shield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt
or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may
cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petro -
leum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
