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 337.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the 
windshield and automatically activates the wipers. 
Rotate the end of the windshield wiper lever to one 
of the four detent positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the 
windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity position 
1 is the least sensitive, and wiper sensitivity 
position 4 is the most sensitive.
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 prop -
erly when ice or dried saltwater is present on the 
windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce rain sensor performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and 
off through the Uconnect system  Ú page 189.
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 igni -
tion is first placed in the ON position, when the 
vehicle is stationary and the outside tempera -
ture 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 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 
(mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER
Rear Window Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring 
upwards to operate one of two modes for the rear 
window wiper:
First detent — intermittent mode.
Second detent — continuous mode.
Rear Window Washer Operation
Pushing the windshield wiper lever forward 
activates the rear window washer. If the lever is 
pushed 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 pushed while the wipers are in the off 
position, the wipers will operate several wipe 
cycles, then turn off.

AUTO Button
Set your desired temperature and press 
the AUTO button on the touchscreen, or 
push the button on the faceplate. AUTO 
will achieve and maintain your desired 
temperature by automatically adjusting the blower 
speed and air distribution. AUTO mode is highly 
recommended for efficiency. You can turn AUTO on 
in one of two ways:
Press and release this button on the touch -

Air comes from the windshield and side window 
demist outlets. When the defrost button is 
selected, the blower level may increase. Use 
Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings 
for best windshield and side window defrosting  and defogging. Performing this function will cause 
the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to switch 
into manual mode. If the Front Defrost mode is 
turned off the climate system will return to the 
previous setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Press and release the Rear Defrost 
Control button to turn on the rear window 
defroster and the heated outside mirrors 
(if equipped). An indicator will illuminate

NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with a Uconnect 5 radio, 
the temperature can be adjusted by pressing the 
Temperature readout on the top left and right 
corners of the status bar.
SYNC Button
Press the SYNC button on the 
touchscreen to toggle the SYNC feature 
on/off. The SYNC indicator is illuminated 
when this feature is enabled. SYNC is 
used to synchronize the front and rear passenger 
temperature settings with the driver temperature 
setting. Changing the front or rear passenger 
temperature setting while in SYNC will 
automatically exit this feature.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause 
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the rear 
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners 
on the interior surface of the window. Use a 
soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping 
parallel to the heating elements. Labels can 
be peeled off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or 
abrasive window cleaners on the interior 
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the 
window.

Blower Control
Blower Control regulates the amount of 
air forced through the climate control 
system. There are seven blower speeds 
available. Adjusting the blower will cause 
automatic mode to switch to manual operation. 
The speeds can be selected using either the 
blower control knob on the faceplate or the 
buttons on the touchscreen.
Faceplate:  The blower speed increases as you 
turn the blower control knob clockwise from the 
lowest blower setting. The blower speed 
decreases as you turn the blower control knob 
counterclockwise.
Touchscreen:  Use the small blower icon to 
reduce the blower setting and the large blower 
icon to increase the blower setting. Blower 
speed can also be selected by pressing the 
blower bar area between the icons.
Mode Control
The airflow distribution mode can be 
adjusted so air comes from the 
instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, 
defrost outlets and demist outlets.
Faceplate:  Push the button in the center of the 
knob to change the airflow distribution mode.
Touchscreen:  Select Mode by pressing one of the 
Mode Buttons on the touchscreen.
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the 
instrument panel. Each of these outlets 
can be individually adjusted to direct the 
flow of air. The air vanes of the center 
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and 
down or side to side to regulate airflow direction. 
There is a shut-off wheel located below the air 
vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow 
from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel 
outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount 
of air is directed through the defrost and 
side window demister outlets.
NOTE:Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort condi -
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets 
and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight 
amount of air is directed through the 
defrost and side window demister 
outlets.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, 
and side window demister outlets. This 
setting works best in cold or snowy 
conditions that require extra heat to the 
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining 
comfort while reducing moisture on the 
windshield.
