Rainsense, the wipers
continue to run until they
reach the base of the
windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense

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.

Compass
The vehicle may have a
compass display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading
and other information from
the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.

charge cords.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the
vehicle has wireless charging
in the storage under the
armrest. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power

before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the engine is
started to indicate they are
working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and
stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows
there may be a problem, check
the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even
dangerous.
