Rainsense™ II Windshield
Wipers (if equipped)
The Rainsense II windshield wipers use
a moisture sensor to automatically oper-
ate the wipers when needed, depending
on driving conditions and the sensitivity
setting. If the system is left on for long
periods, an occasional wipe may occur
without any moisture on the windshield
to indicate the system is activated.
The headlamps also will be turned on
automatically when the Rainsense
wipers are active if the exterior lamp
control knob is in the AUTO position.
Windshield Wiper Controls
The controls for the windshield wipers
are located on the multifunction lever on
the left side of the steering column. The
band can be rotated to the following
positions:
(Mist):Rotate the wipers band
down to this position to turn the wipers
on for one wipe.
(Off):Rotate the wipers band to this
position to turn the wipers off.
(Sensitivity Setting):Rotate the
control band up to one of the sensi-
tivity levels to activate the Rainsense
function. The position closest to Off is
the lowest sensitivity level.

on. The wipers will automatically turn on
for four heated wash cycles or until the
