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 0355.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever 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
wipes, the wipers continue to run
until they reach the base of the
windshield.
Rainsense
There is 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. To turn this feature
on or off, see “Rain Sense Wipers ”
under Vehicle Personalization 0126.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO : When enabled, move the
windshield wiper lever to AUTO. Turn

lever to OFF. This disables the
automatic Rainsense windshield
wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission is
in N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is
very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to normal
when the transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has
increased.
Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps
and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for a while. The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based on the
wiper speed. For this feature to work,
the exterior lamp control must be

(Base Level) or the cluster displays
AUTO STOP text (Uplevel), the engine
is off but the vehicle is on and can
move. The engine could auto start at
any time. When the indicator points
to OFF, the vehicle is off.
The tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode,
when the engine is shutting off and
restarting.
Uplevel
The redline of the tachometer adjusts
dynamically based on engine
temperature. The redline displays a
lower indication when the vehicles
odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles).
If equipped, the shift indicators are
displayed on instrument cluster and
Head-Up Display (HUD). The shift
indicators are only operational when
the automatic transmission is in
Manual mode, or the vehicle has a
manual transmission. SeeManual
Mode 0250. When the vehicle engine
is less than 70°C (158°F) and the
vehicle odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles) the shift
indications are not displayed. A strong visual indicator is displayed
as the vehicle approaches the red line.
Tour and Sport themes feature shift
rings while the Track theme features
shift lights accompanied by a
numerical tachometer display.
Fuel Gauge
Base Level
Uplevel Sport Mode Shown, Other
Modes Similar When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less fuel to fill
up than it indicates. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the
tank is half full, but it actually takes
a little more, or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
.Take a few seconds to stabilize after
the ignition is turned on and goes
back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of
which indicate a problem with the fuel
gauge.
