GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE41
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WITH
WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
When this feature is programmed on and the headlight
switch is set to AUTO, the headlights will turn on after the
wipers are turned on. This feature will also turn the
headlights off when the wipers are turned off.
NOTE:This feature can be turned on or off using the Uconnect
system Úpage 126.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for up to 90 seconds (programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF
position while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off the
headlights within 45 seconds of placing the ignition in the
OFF position. The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off.
NOTE:The headlight delay feature is automatically activated if
the customer leaves the headlight switch in the AUTO
position while the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights on, or place the
ignition in ACC or RUN, the system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds of
placing the ignition in the OFF position to activate this
feature.
 The headlight delay time is programmable using the
Uconnect system
Úpage 126.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is placed in the OFF position, the vehicle will chime to alert
the driver when the driver's door is opened.
FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The front fog light switch is built into the headlight switch.

Fog Light Switch Fog Light Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)

-
lights will turn off the fog lights.

or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch
is placed in the ON/RUN position from the OFF position.

dimmer control is rotated upward to the second detent.
The courtesy lights will turn off after 10 minutes when the
ignition is placed in the OFF position to protect the battery.

instrument panel dimmer control is rotated all the way
down to the O (off) position.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first four detent
positions for intermittent settings, the fifth detent for low
wiper operation and the sixth detent for high wiper
operation.

Windshield Wiper Operation
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with the blades lifted
from the windshield.
Intermittent Wipers
Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable. At driving speeds
above 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from
a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between cycles
(first detent), to a cycle every one second (fourth detent).
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay
times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward toward you and
hold. If the lever is pulled while in 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 for several wipe cycles, then turn
off. 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 wind
-
shield. The washer function must be used in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
Úpage 219.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of four detent positions to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay detent one is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most
sensitive.
Setting three is preferred by the average driver during
normal rain conditions.
NOTE:
 The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
 The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried salt water is present on the wind -
shield.
1 — Push Forward For Rear Washer
2 — Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
3 — Pull For Front Washer
4 — Rotate For Rear Wiper Operation
5 — Push Up For Mist
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the parked
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the parked position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE45
Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce
Rain Sensing performance.
 The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
using the Uconnect system
Úpage 126.
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 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 outside
temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
 Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the ignition
is ON, and the transmission is in NEUTRAL, 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.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper/washer 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.
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.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch
is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the lever is
released the pump will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is placed in
the OFF position, the wiper will automatically return to the
parked position.
