The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the wiper blades and arms, and
will not operate under the following conditions:
•Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first turned ON, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater
than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
• Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the ignition is ON, and the automatic
transmission is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not operate
until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or
the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the vehicle is in the remote start mode.
Once the operator is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition switch in the RUN
position, rain sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no
other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) exist.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the multifunction lever on the left side
of the steering column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a switch,
located at the middle of the lever.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
Rotating the center portion upward once more will activate the washer pump which
will continue to operate as long as the switch is held. Upon release of the switch, the
wipers will resume the continuous rear wiper operation. When this rotary control is in
the OFF position, rotating it downward will activate the rear washer pump which will
continue to operate as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released it will
return to the OFF position and the wipers will cycle several times before returning to
the parked position.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the switch is held for more than 20
seconds. Once the switch is released the pump will resume normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position.
