²low-to-medium blower setting,
²low-to-medium vehicle speed,
²low road noise,
²smooth road surface,
²fully closed windows, and
²dry weather condition.
²operation from driver seat.

NOTE:
²The rain-sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper speed is in the LOW or HIGH position.
²The rain-sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.
²Use of Rain-Xtor products containing wax or silicone
may reduce rain sensor performance.
²The Rain Sense feature can be turned on and off
through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) Ð if equipped. For details, refer to ªPersonal
Settings (Customer Programmable Features)º under
ªElectronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)º in

The rain sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
²Low Temperature Wipe InhibitÐ 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 32É F (0É C), unless the
wiper control is moved, or the vehicle speed becomes
greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside tempera-
ture rises above freezing.
²Neutral Wipe InhibitÐ The rain-sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is ON, and the trans-
mission selector lever is in the ªNº (Neutral) position,
and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h),
unless the wiper control is moved or the selector lever
is moved out of the ªNº (Neutral) position.
²Remote Start Wipe Inhibit (Vehicles Equipped with
Remote Start System)Ð The rain-sensing feature will

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the Windshield Wiper / Washer
Control lever toward you and hold it for as long as
washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the wiper control is in
the delay range, the wipers will operate in low speed for
two wipe cycles after releasing the lever and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the wiper control is in
the OFF position, the wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles and then turn OFF.
Adding Washer Fluid
NOTE:Refer to the ªEngine Compartmentº diagram in
Section 7 for the location of the washer fluid reservoir.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers is located
in 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.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer solvents
are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care
must be exercised when filling or working around
the washer solution.

CAUTION!
²Never attempt to open or close the Sky Slidertwhen
it is frozen. Wait until the Sky Slidertis thawed
before operating.
²Opening the Sky Slidertwhen damp, wet, or dirty
can cause stains, mildew, and damage to the soft-top
material and the inside of your vehicle. Make sure
the Sky Slidertis dry before opening.
²Always close the Sky Slidertwhen leaving your
vehicle so as not to leave the interior exposed to
potentially damaging outdoor conditions.
²Do not leave the Sky Slidertopen for several weeks
at a time. Close it occasionally to prevent discolora-
tion in the folds of the fabric and to allow the creases
to smooth out. This is especially important if the Sky
Slidertwas opened when not completely dry.
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the
Sky Slider,tvehicle contents, and the vehicle interior.
WARNING!
²In an accident, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a
vehicle with the Sky Slidertopen. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too.
²Before operating the Sky Slider,tmake sure that no moving parts
of the Sky Slidertcan injure a person or animal.
²Never place any extremities (hands, feet, etc.) near the Sky Slidert
components or the roof area while operating the Sky Slider.t
²If potential danger exists while opening or closing the Sky Slidert
in Automatic Mode, press and release the switch immediately to
interrupt the operation.
²If potential danger exists while opening or closing the Sky Slidert
in Operator Mode, release the switch immediately to interrupt the
operation.
²Do not allow small children to operate the Sky Slider.t
²Never leave children in a vehicle, with the key in the ignition
switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the Sky Slidertwhile operating the Power Top
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in
the full-time four-wheel drive auto mode. In
this mode, the system operates with a normal
torque split of 42% front axle and 58% rear axle.
It can redirect up to 100% of torque to the front or rear
axle, if necessary.(See page 292 for more information.)27. Odometer/Trip Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The trip odometer shows individual trip
mileage. Refer to ªTrip Odometer Buttonº for additional
information.
NOTE:U.S. federal regulations require upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify the mileage the
vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer
reading is changed because of repair or replacement, be
sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the
service so that the correct mileage can be determined.
Vehicle Warning Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, messages such as
ªdoorº (for door ajar), ªgATEº (for liftgate ajar), ªgLASSº
(for flip-up glass ajar), ªgASCAPº (for fuel cap fault), or
ªCHANgE OILº will display in the odometer.

Calibrating the Compass (Mid Line Cluster Only)
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, or abnormal,
you may wish to calibrate it. However, prior to calibrat-
ing the compass, make sure the proper Compass Variance
value is selected.
NOTE:The vehicle speed must be at 0 mph (0 km/h)
(manual transmission) or the gear selector lever in ªPº
(Park) (auto transmission) to enter the calibration mode.
To calibrate the compass, first, start the engine. Next,
press and hold the trip odometer button until the current
variance zone number displays (approximately ten sec-
onds). Then, press and hold the button again until the
direction displays with the ªCALº indicator on continu-
ously (approximately ten seconds). Finally, drive thevehicle in one or more complete circles, at speeds under
5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from power lines and
large metallic objects, until the ªCALº indicator turns off.
The compass will now function normally.
