windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur depending
on how long the windshield washer
had been activated. SeeWasher Fluid
0 289 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.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and
windows. Reduced visibility from
snow and ice buildup could lead to
a crash. Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See
Wiper Blade Replacement 0295.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense disabled, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes after the
ignition is off, 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 sensitivity of the
windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO : If Rainsense is enabled, 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.
. Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
