•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 Settings” 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.
NOTE: If the front wiper is moving and the vehicle is
shifted in REVERSE, the rear wiper will perform one round
up to clean the rear window.
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. If the
front wiper is set to Automatic Mode (on the wiper stalk as
well as “Enabled” through Uconnect settings), placing the rear wiper in an intermittent position will cause the front
and rear wipers to sync up. Turning the front wipers off
will cause the rear wipers to also stop.
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 operation.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is located with
the Climate Controls on the instrument panel. Push
this button to turn on the rear window defroster. An
indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster auto-
matically turns off after approximately 20 minutes. To

•Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
•The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog on
the inside, because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air position for
maximum defogging.
•Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
•The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.

not pollute the environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.Automatic Climate Control Overview
