106 Instruments and Controls
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. SeeElectrical System
Overload 0280.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in 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 put in 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
If equipped, 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” underVehicle
Personalization 0147. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
INT (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity
Control) :
When enabled, move the
windshield wiper lever to INT. Turn
the
xINT band on the wiper lever
to adjust the sensitivity.
. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
. Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
. Move the windshield wiper lever
out of the INT position to
deactivate Rainsense.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
If equipped with wiper arm assembly
protection, when using an automatic
car wash, move the windshield wiper 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.
n
L(Windshield Washer) : Pull
the windshield wiper lever toward
you to spray windshield washer fluid
and activate the wipers. The wipers
will continue until the lever is
released or the maximum wash time
is reached. When the windshield
wiper lever is released, additional
wipes may occur depending on how
long the windshield washer had
been activated. See Washer Fluid
0 271 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
