for several wipe cycles after the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while the wipers are in the off
position, the wipers will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to a collision. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of
the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make occa-
sional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the Mist position and release for a single
wiping cycle.
NOTE:The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The wash function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray
from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to one of the two
detent positions for intermittent settings, to activate this
feature.

This function can be activated by the Uconnect Settings
through the radio. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in the
“Multimedia” for further information.The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position two is the most
sensitive. Place the wiper switch in the OFF position
when not using the system.
Rain Sensing Wipers – Inhibition
When the user switches the ignition to STOP, leaving the
lever in intermittent positions, no wipe cycle is per-
formed for safety reasons. This temporary inhibition
avoids accidental activations of the wiping (e.g during
the hand washing of the windscreen, blocking the blades
in ice/snow conditions). The user can activate the Rain
Sensing Wipers in three ways:
•Moving the level in OFF position and then in Intermit-
tent positions.
•One MIST command actuation.
Rain Sensor

•The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and the
rain sensor detects the presence of rain.
NOTE:
•The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
•The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice, or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.
•Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or silicone
may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
•The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
using the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.Rear Wiper Operation
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the lever
on the right 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.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is
pushed while in the intermittent setting, the
wiper will turn on and operate for several wipe
cycles after the end of the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles,
then turn off.

NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal opera-
tion.
