Multicolor Ambient Lighting — If Equipped
The color of certain ambient lighting inside of the vehicle
can be selected within the Apps menu on the radio screen,
or within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197. Brightness is
adjusted using the ambient light dimmer control on the
headlight switch.
Five colors can be selected for the following two zones
inside of the vehicle:
 Zone 1:
 Instrument panel decorative ambient lights
 Door panel decorative ambient lights
 Zone 2:
 Front seat footwell areas below the instrument
panel
 Lighting below the second row seats
 Map pocket lighting on all four door panels
These areas can be set to different colors, or if the SYNC
button is selected within the settings menu, all colored
lights will be set to the same color automatically.
NOTE:All other ambient lighting inside of the vehicle will remain
white, and the ambient light dimmer control switch will
adjust all ambient lighting at the same time.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY — IF EQUIPPED
The Illuminated Entry feature allows you to activate the
low beam, parking lights, and side marker lights for 25
seconds when the vehicle is unlocked (through the key fob
or the Passive Entry door handles [if equipped]). This feature can be activated or deactivated through the
Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
NOTE:

When a door is open with the feature active, the activa -
tion of the lights is extended for five seconds.
 The feature is disabled when the vehicle is locked or
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right
side of the steering column. The front wipers are operated
by rotating a switch, located on the end of the lever.

Windshield Wiper Operation

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within
the wiper lever. Rotate the switch at the end of the lever
upward, to the first detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the
end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation. To
turn the windshield wipers off, rotate the switch within the
lever all the way down to OFF.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make
a single wiping cycle with a variable pause between cycles
desirable. Rotate the switch at the end of the wiper lever
to the first detent position, and then turn the switch at the
end of the lever to select the desired delay interval. There
are four delay settings, which allow you to regulate the
wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every second to
a maximum of approximately 36 seconds between cycles.
The delay intervals will double in duration when the
vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
1 — Pull For Front Washer
2 — Rotate For Rear Wiper Operation
3 — Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
4 — Push Forward For Rear Washer
5 — Push Up For Mist
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from returning to the parked
position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the parked position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 62

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE63
NOTE:If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay
times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward toward you and
hold. If the lever is pulled while on the intermittent setting,
the wipers will turn on and operate 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 several cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the pump will resume normal
operation.
 If the front window washer feature is activated, all of
the front cameras (if equipped) on the vehicle will be
washed as well.
Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional 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 wind -
shield. The washer function must be used in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
Úpage 324.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of the
windshield wiper lever to one of the four detent positions
to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the
windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity position 1 is the
least sensitive, and wiper sensitivity position 4 is the most
sensitive.
NOTE:
 The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high position.
 The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried saltwater is present on the wind -
shield.
 Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce
rain sensor performance. 
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
through the Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
 Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is first placed
in the ON position, when the vehicle is stationary and
the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless
the wiper control on the windshield wiper lever is
moved, the vehicle speed becomes greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h) or the outside temperature rises above
freezing.
 Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will not
operate when the ignition is ON, when the transmission
gear selector is in the NEUTRAL position and the
vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h), unless the
wiper control on the windshield wiper lever is moved,
the vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or
the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL posi -
tion.
 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
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE317
NOTE:
After adding oil to the engine, always reinstall the oil
cap securely by rotating clockwise until it stops. Never
run the engine without the oil fill cap as this could
cause an oil leak.
 Because the oil level is automatically detected only
when the engine has been off and restarted (after four
minutes), the system cannot immediately detect a
sudden drop in oil level while driving (for example, if the
oil pan starts to leak due to damage during an off-road
event).
CHECKING OIL LEVEL — 5.7L & 6.4L
E
NGINES
To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at
regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to
check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:
 Crosshatched zone.
 Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
 Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low end of
the range and MAX at the high end of the range.
 Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the MIN
and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch
markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 qt (1 L) of oil when the reading is at the low end
of the dipstick range will raise the oil level to the high end
of the range marking.
ADDING WASHER FLUID
The instrument cluster display will indicate when the
washer fluid level is low. When the sensor detects a low
fluid level, the Low Washer Fluid Warning Light will turn on
and the "Washer Fluid Low" message will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear
window washer is shared. The fluid reservoir is located in
the engine compartment, be sure to check the fluid level
at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield
washer solvent only (not radiator antifreeze). When
refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take some washer fluid
and apply it to a cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper
blades, this will help blade performance. To prevent
freeze-up of your windshield washer system in cold
weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or
exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating
information can be found on most washer fluid containers.
NOTE:Use care when filling under hood fluids such as engine oil,
washer fluid, antifreeze, etc. to minimize spillage onto top
of engine. Any excess fluid that is spilled onto the top of
the engine should be removed using compressed air or an
absorbent cloth.
CAUTION!
If the “Critically Low or Critically High” Oil Level Warning
Light is illuminated, the following steps should be
taken:
Critically Low: add two quarts of manufacturer speci -
fied oil as soon as possible
Úpage 376. Continuing
to operate the vehicle with “Critically Low” oil level
may damage the engine.
 Critically High: contact an authorized dealer for
service. Continuing to operate the vehicle with “Criti -
cally High” oil level may damage the engine.
Do not use any oils that are not manufacturer specified
and API approved.
Used engine oil and oil filters contain substances which
are harmful to the environment. When oil and filters are
changed contact an authorized dealer and dispose of in
a safe and responsible manner.
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.

324SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
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
the 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
geographical area and frequency of use. Poor perfor -
mance of blades may be present with chattering, marks,
water lines or wet spots. If any of these conditions are
present, clean the wiper blades or replace as necessary.
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be inspected
periodically, not just when wiper performance problems
are experienced. This inspection should include the
following points:
 Wear or uneven edges
 Foreign material
 Hardening or cracking
 Deformation or fatigue If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged, replace the
affected wiper arm or blade with a new unit. Do not
attempt to repair a wiper arm or blade that is damaged.
Front Wiper Blade Removal/Installation

1. Lift the front wiper arm upward to raise the wiper
blade off of the windshield.

2. Push the release button on the arm of the wiper blade.
3. Push the wiper blade up and remove it.

Wiper Arm And Blade

4. Install the wiper blade and firmly push the wiper blade until it snaps into place.
Rear Wiper Blade Removal/Installation

1. Lift the rear wiper arm fully off the glass.
