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

Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See Electrical System
Overload 0271.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, 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,
the wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense™
If equipped with Rainsense and the
feature is turned on, 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
based on the current sensitivity
setting.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
AUTO :
Move the windshield wiper
lever to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity.
. Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.

out of the AUTO position to
deactivate Rainsense.
To turn the Rainsense feature on or
off, see “Rainsense Wipers” under
Vehicle Personalization 0151.
