22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 40

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE41
Mist
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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 245.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to one of two detent
positions for intermittent settings to activate this
feature.
NOTE:If the windshield wiper lever is rotated from the O
(off) position to the first intermittent setting or from the first intermittent setting to the second inter
-
mittent setting, the wipers will perform an imme -
diate wipe cycle to clean the windshield.

Rain Sensor Location

The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the windshield wiper lever. Wiper delay position
one is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position
two is the most sensitive. 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 posi -
tion.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function prop -
erly when ice or dried salt water is present on
the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off through Uconnect Settings Ú page 123.
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 placed in the ON/RUN position, 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).
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position, and the auto -
matic transmission is in the NEUTRAL position,
the Rain Sensing system will not operate until
the wiper switch is moved, 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 the Remote Start 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
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, rain
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit conditions
exist.
Rain Sensing Wipers — Inhibition — When the
user changes the ignition position from OFF to
ON/RUN with the windshield wiper lever already
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.

(Continued)
in the intermittent position, no wipe cycle is
performed for safety reasons. This temporary
inhibition avoids accidental activations of the
wiping (e.g. during the hand washing of the
windshield, blocking the blades in ice/snow
conditions).
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in
three ways:
Moving the lever from the O (off) position to the
intermittent positions.
One Mist command actuation.
The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and
the rain sensor detects the presence of rain.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper lever on the right side of the
steering column. The rear wiper/washer is
operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.
NOTE:If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one
round up to clean the rear window. Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation. To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is desired. If
the lever is pushed while in the
intermittent setting, the wiper will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the end of
the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal
operation.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position.WINDSHIELD WIPER DE-ICER —
I
F EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Windshield
Wiper De-Icer feature that may be activated under
the following conditions:
Activation By Rear Defrost — The Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will be activated automatically
when the rear defrost is turned on and the
ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C).
Activation By Remote Start Operation — When
Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 40°F (4.4°C), the
Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE245
a lithium based grease, such as Mopar® Spray
White Lube to ensure 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 Autumn and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield 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 petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending
on geographical area and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present with chat -
tering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper
performance problems are experienced. This
inspection should include the following points:
Wear or uneven edges
Foreign material
Hardening or cracking
Deformation or fatigue
If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged, replace
the affected wiper arm or blade with a new unit. Do
not attempt to repair a wiper arm or blade that is
damaged.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to be
placed in a position that allows the wiper blades to
be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers
must be in the Park position before placing the
ignition in the OFF position. Service Mode must be activated within two
minutes after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service
Position command (anti-panic) must be active for
at least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position
command, the wiper blades are activated for
250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated
several times to bring the blades into the desired
position, up to a maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is
disabled.
Function Deactivation:
The functionality is reset if:
The ignition is turned to the RUN position.
Number of subsequent activations is three.
Two minute timer has expired after placing the
ignition OFF.
NOTE:When turning the ignition ON, the blades will go
into the parking position.
