, the wipers will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off. Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make
occasi
on

al 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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú p

age 297 .
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snow fall on the
windshield and automatically activates the wipers.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of
two detent positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the mu

ltifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is
the least sensitive, and wiper delay position two is
the most sensitive. Place the wiper switch in the O
(off) position when not using the system.
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.
Rain Sensor

NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when
the wiper switch is in the low or high-speed posi
-
tion.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function prop -
erly when ice or dried salt water is present on
t h e
w
i
ndshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on or off
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 133.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features

suppressed until vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is moved
out of a
nd back into the Intermittent wipe posi -
tion.
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — The Rain
Sensing system will not operate if the NEUTRAL
gear is selected at speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) or
less u

nless the wiper switch is moved or the
gear selector is moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with the Remote Start 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 ON/RUN position, Rain

been selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper/washer 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
shift e
d 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
operat
i

on and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation. If the
front wiper is set to Automatic mode (on the wiper
lever 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 l e

ver is pushed while the wiper is in
the off position, the wiper will operate for
several wipe cycles, then turn off.
If the lever is pushed while in the intermittent

g, 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.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switc h
is held for more than 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released, the pump will resume normal
operation.

on the interior surface of the window. Use a
soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping
parallel to the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 297
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling —
R–1234yf
R–1234yf Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a
hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) that is endorsed by the
Environmental Protection Agency and is an
ozone-friendly substance with a low
global-warming potential. The manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning service be
performed by an authorized dealer using recovery
and recycling equipment.
NOTE:
Use only the manufacturer approved A/C system
PAG c om
pressor oil, and refrigerants.
Cabin Air Cleaner
See an authorized dealer for service.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and
rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically with
a lithium-based grease, such as Mopar® Spray
White Lube to ensure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the
application of any lubricant, the parts concerned
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit;
after lubricating, excess oil and grease should be
removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other underhood
services, the hood latch, release mechanism and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice


a year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice
from th
e windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of
contact with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending
on geog r
aphical area and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present with chat -tering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these


conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to be
placed in a position that allows the wiper blades to
be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers
must b

e in the Park position before placing the
ignition in the STOP/OFF position.
Service mode must be activated within two
minut e

s after the ignition is placed in the STOP/
OFF position.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service
Positi on

command (antipanic) must be active for at
least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position
comman d

, the wiper blades are activated for
250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated
sever a

l times to bring the blades into the desired
position, up to a maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is
disab l

ed.
