WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. There are
five different modes of operation for the front
windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever can
be raised or lowered to access the modes.
NOTE:The windshield wipers/washers will only operate
with the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent settings, the
third detent for low wiper operation and the fourth
for high wiper operation.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel to activate.
The wipers will activate automatically for three
cycles after the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.

If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for three cycles and then turn off.

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 windshield. The wash function must be used in
order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Úpage 207.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to one of two detent
positions for intermittent settings to activate this
feature.
NOTE:If the windshield wiper lever is rotated from the
O (off) position to the first intermittent setting or
from the first intermittent setting to the second
intermittent setting, the wipers will perform an
immediate wipe cycle to clean the windshield.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the windshield wiper 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.
1 — Pull Back For Front Washer
2 — Rotate For Intermittent Settings
3 — Push Upward For MistWARNING!
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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE39
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 prop -
erly when ice, or dried salt water is present on
the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off using the Uconnect system Ú page 120.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features
for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate
under the following conditions:
Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition
is first placed in the ON position, the Rain
Sensing system will not operate until the wiper
switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside temperature is
greater than 32°F (0°C).
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the
ignition is ON, and the automatic transmission
is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing
system will not operate until the wiper switch is
moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h), or the gear selector is moved out of
the NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with a Remote Start system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The user can activate the Rain Sensing Wipers in
three ways:
Moving the lever from the O (off) position to the
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:In the event of a rain sensor failure, a dedicated
telltale on the instrument cluster will appear to
warn the customer (if equipped).
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate
the temperature, air flow, and direction of air
circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls are
located on the touchscreen (if equipped) and on
the instrument panel below the radio.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE207

Removing Air Filter

3. Install the cabin air filter/filter retainer back into the fresh air inlet. When installing the filter
retainer make sure the retainer is fully
engaged.

4. Install the two screws back into the assembly to secure the filter retainer to the fresh air inlet.

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 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. If chat -
tering, marks, water lines or wet spots are present,
clean the wiper blades or replace as necessary.
