WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The multifunction lever operates the windshield wipers and washer when the ignition is placed in the ACC or ON/RUN position. The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Control
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the first detent, past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation, or to the second detent past the intermittent settings for
high-speed wiper operation.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause between cycles desirable.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the first detent position, and then turn 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.
To use the washer, push the multifunction lever inward (toward the steering column) and hold it for as long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the windshield wiper control is in the delay range, the wipers will operate for two wipe cycles after releasing the lever and then resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the windshield wiper is turned off, the wipers will operate for three wipe cycles and then turn off.
Rotate the end of the lever downward to the MIST position to activate a single wipe cycle to clear off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. The wipers will continue to operate until you release the multifunction lever.
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.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall 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 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is the most sensitive. Setting 3 should be used for normal rain conditions.
Settings 1 and 2 can be used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting 4 can be used if the driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the off position when not using the system.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the following conditions:
3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL position.
Rain Sensing can be turned on and off using the Uconnect System, refer to“Uconnect Settings” in“Multimedia” for further information.
