NOTE:If the end of the multifunction lever rotates from off
to the first intermittent setting or from the first intermittent
setting to the second intermittent setting, the wipers will
perform a round up to clean the windshield.
This function can be activated or deactivated 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 sensi-
tive. Place the wiper switch in the off position when not
using the system.
Rain Sensing Wipers – Inhibition
When the user switches the ignition to OFF, leaving the
lever in intermittent positions, no wipe cycle is performed
for safety reasons. This temporary inhibition avoids acci-
dental 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 Intermittent
positions.
• One MIST command actuation.
• 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.
