The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is done
by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the
switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (3).
The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signaled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

NOTE:
Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper
switch or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or
not there is rain on the glass for as long as the
sensor failure is indicated on the display.The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to continuous
mode (1 or 2). The failure indication remains on
for as long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and automat
-
ically adjust itself in the presence of the following
conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface
(e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
Push the windshield wiper lever downward to
activate/deactivate continuous rear wiper
operation.
Push the windshield wiper lever towards the
instrument panel to activate the rear window
washer (a brief push activates one washing cycle,
keeping the stalk pushed washes continuously
until the stalk is released).
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with the
windshield wiper operating activates a single
cycle of the rear window wiper.
HEADLAMP WASHERS — IF EQUIPPED
The windshield wiper lever operates the headlight
washers when the ignition is in the ON position
and the headlights are turned on. To use the
headlight washers, pull the lever toward you and
release it. The headlight washers will spray a
timed high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the windshield
washers will spray the windshield and the
windshield wipers will cycle.

NOTE:
The headlight washers work on every tenth wash
cycle request.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate
the temperature, air flow, and direction of air
circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls
are located on the touchscreen and on the
instrument panel below the radio.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control System
adjusts the temperature and air distribution
independently between the driver and
passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature inside
the passenger compartment and compensates
for outside temperature change.

NOTE:
The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following to
maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front passenger
side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
Compressor variations (for cooling/dehumid-
ifying the air)
Air recirculation
The Climate Control System can also be operated
manually by using the buttons and knobs on the
faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO button is
pushed. If the system intervenes for safety
reasons, the automatic setting will take control of
the system.
The following operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver and
passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defroster
Air recirculation
Rear Defroster
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator
illuminated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light will
not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the icon or
the AUTO button. With the A/C compressor off,
the air speed can be set manually using the Air
Speed Adjustment Knob. When the A/C compressor is on, and the engine
is running, air speed cannot be lower than the
minimum speed (only one indicator light is lit).

NOTE:
When the A/C is off, the Climate Control system
can not produce air that is colder than the current
outside temperature. Under certain environ
-
mental conditions, windows could fog up rapidly
since the air is not dehumidified.
Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed according
to the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the “A” on the
Air Recirculation Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above
the icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation always
off with intake of outside air): both indicators
not illuminated on the Air Recirculation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button in
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Function —
If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically
activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
