Move the wiper lever upward to the firstposition to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the autowipers. When youselect low sensitivity, the wipers operatewhen the sensor detects a large amountof water on the windshield. When youselect high sensitivity, the wipers operatewhen the sensor detects a small amountof water on the windshield.
Note:Keep the outside of the windshieldclean. The rain sensor is very sensitive andthe wipers may operate if dirt, mist orinsects hit the windshield.
If you leave autowipers on, it may notoperate when you switch the ignition onduring freezing temperatures. This isbecause the system has deactivated therain sensor to prevent damage to thewindshield wipers. Defrost the windshieldbefore reactivating the rain sensor. Youcan reactivate the rain sensor by movingthe rotary control or switching autowipersoff and on.
Note:Fully defrost the windshield beforeyou switch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure that you switch thewindshield wipers off before entering a carwash.
Wet or winter weather conditions couldcause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing onthe windshield.
•Switch autowipers off.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. See Checking the WiperBlades (page 224). If that does not resolvethe issue, install new wiper blades. SeeChanging the Wiper Blades (page 225).

•Cover the battery, power distributionbox, and air filter assembly to preventwater damage when cleaning theengine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmentalfallout can result in windshield and wiperblade contamination. Dirty windshield andwipers will result in poor windshield wiperoperation. Keep the windshield and wiperblades clean to maintain windshield wiperperformance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•Clean the windshield with anon-abrasive glass cleaner. Whencleaning the interior of the windshield,avoid getting any glass cleaner on theinstrument panel or door panels. Wipeany glass cleaner off these surfacesimmediately.
•For windshields contaminated withtree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, cleanthe entire windshield using steel wool(no greater than 0000 grade) in acircular motion and rinse with water.
•Clean the wiper blades with isopropylrubbing alcohol or windshield washerconcentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or othersharp objects to clean or remove decalsfrom the inside of the heated rear window.The vehicle warranty does not coverdamage caused to the heated rear windowgrid lines.
