Windshield Wiper De-Icer — If Equipped

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Windshield Wiper

De-Icer feature that may be activated under the following

conditions:

Activation By Front Defrost — The Windshield Wiper

De-Icer shall be activated automatically in the case of a

cold weather manual start with full front defrost, and

when the ambient temperature is below 33° F (0.6° C).

Activation By Rear Defrost — The Windshield Wiper

De-Icer shall be activated automatically when the rear

defrost is turned on and when the ambient tempera-

ture is below 33° F (0.6° C).

Activation By Remote Start Operation — When re-

mote start is active and the outside ambient tempera-

ture is less than 33° F (0.6° C), the Windshield Wiper

De-Icer shall be enabled. On exiting remote start

resume previous operation except, if the Windshield

Wiper De-Icer timer and operation shall continue.

Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped

This feature senses moisture on the windshield and

automatically activates the wipers for the driver. The

feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray

from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate

the end of the multifunction lever to one of four settings

to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the

multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is the least

sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most

sensitive. Setting three should be used for normal rain

conditions. Settings one and two can be used if the driver

desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if

the driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch

in the OFF position when not using the system.
