WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before turning on the windshield wipers.

Note: Make sure the windshield wipers are turned off before entering a
car wash.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave streaks
or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades.

Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch
the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to bun out.
Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.

Rotate the end of the control:
• away from you to increase the

wiper speed

• toward you to decrease the wiper

speed.

Speed Dependent Wipers

When your vehicle speed increases, the interval between wipes will
decrease when intermittent wipe is selected.

RAIN-SENSING WIPERS (IF EQUIPPED)

Note: Wet road conditions may result in inconsistent or unexpected
wiping or smearing. Lower the sensitivity, switch to normal or high-speed
wiping or turn the wipers off to reduce smearing.

Note: Turn off the wipers before entering a car wash.

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity to one of the interval
moisture settings. The wipers will
not cycle until moisture is detected
on the windshield. The wiper speed
will vary based on the amount of
moisture detected on the windshield
and the sensitivity setting. The

wipers will continue to wipe as long as moisture is detected.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
interior mirror where the sensor is located, or sensor performance may
be affected.
