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 ignition is first
switched ON, and the vehicle is stationary, and the
outside temperature is below 32° F (0° C), unless the
wiper control on the multi-function lever is moved, or
the vehicle speed becomes greater than 0 mph (0
km/h), or the outside temperature rises above freez-
ing.
•Neutral Wipe Inhibit— The rain-sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is ON, and the trans-
mission selector lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position,
and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h),
unless the wiper control on the multi-function lever is
moved or the selector lever is moved out of the “N”
(Neutral) position.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the
front of the engine compartment. Be sure to check the
fluid level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator
antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to
flush out the residual water.

lever inward (toward the steering column) to the second
