WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS
Windshield Wiper Operation
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch within the wiper lever. Rotate the switch
at the end of the lever upward, to the first detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed
wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation. To turn the windshield wipers off,
rotate the switch within the lever all the way
down to OFF.
Washer And Wiper Controls

NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the off position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle with a
variable pause between cycles desirable. Rotate
the switch at the end of the wiper lever to the first
detent position, and then turn the switch at the
end of the lever to select the desired delay
interval. There are four delay settings, which allow
you to regulate the wipe interval from a minimum
of one cycle every second to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles. The
delay intervals will double in duration when the
vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward
toward you and hold while spray is desired. If
the lever is pulled while on the intermittent
setting, the wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is released,
and then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected. If the lever is pulled while
the wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.
Mist Feature
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST
position and release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, 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 rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers for the driver. This feature is especially
useful for road splash or overspray from the
windshield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the windshield wiper lever to
one of the four intermittent wiper sensitivity
settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from
the windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity
position 3 has been calibrated for best overall
wiping sensitivity. If the operator desires more
wiping sensitivity, they may select sensitivity
position 4. If the operator desires less wiping
sensitivity, they may select sensitivity positions
2 or 1. Place the windshield wiper lever in the
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 position.

The Rain Sensing feature may not function
properly when ice or dried saltwater is
present on the windshield.

Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or
silicone may reduce rain sensor performance.

The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on
and off through the Uconnect System. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protective
features for the wiper blades and arms. It will
not operate under the following conditions:
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate when the
ignition is first placed in the ON position,
when the vehicle is stationary and the
outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C),
unless the wiper control on the windshield
wiper lever is moved, the vehicle speed
becomes greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or the
outside temperature rises above freezing.

Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is
ON, when the transmission gear selector is in
the NEUTRAL position and the vehicle speed
is less than 3 mph (5 km/h), unless the wiper
control on the windshield wiper lever is
moved, the vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h) or the gear selector is moved
out of the NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
