Instruments and Controls

5-5

If the ignition is changed to
STOPPING THE ENGINE/OFF
while the wipers are performing
wipes due to windshield washing,
the wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.

Rainsense™

For vehicles with Rainsense,
a sensor located near the top
center of the windshield detects the
amount of water on the windshield
and automatically controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.

Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.

INT (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity
Control):
Move the windshield
wiper lever to INT. Turn the

x

INT

band on the wiper lever to adjust the
sensitivity.

.

Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.

.

Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.

.

Move the windshield wiper
lever out of the INT position
to deactivate Rainsense.

Wiper Arm Assembly Protection

When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers and/or
rear wiper.

With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of
the windshield.

The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.
