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.
nL: 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
0 256 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
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.

set using the infotainment system. See
“Time/Date ”in “System ”under
“Settings ”in the infotainment manual.

Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have wireless
charging in the storage behind the
climate control system. The system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power output of the

up to 3 amp (15W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0349.

Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system. The ignition must be on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The

The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the smartphone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pad before charging your
compatible smartphone. Objects,
such as coins, keys, rings, paper
clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charging pad will
become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
smartphone and charger, remove
the smartphone and allow the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
