5-4 Instruments and Controls
Wipe Parking
If the ignition is turned to
LOCK/OFF while the wipers
are on 1, 2, or
G
, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned to
LOCK/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.
G (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity
Control): Move the windshield
wiper lever to
G
. Turn the
3
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.
To deactivate Rainsense, move
the windshield wiper lever out
of
G
position.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
the off position. 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.
