• The rain sensing feature may not function properly
when ice, or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.

Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) allows the Rain
Sense feature to be turned off. Refer to “Personal
Settings” in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center

The rain sensing system has protection features for the
wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the
following conditions:
• Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — When the ignition
is first switched ON and the vehicle is stationary, and
the outside temperature is below 32° F (0° C), the rain
sensing feature will be suspended unless the wiper
switch is moved, or the vehicle speed becomes greater
than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature rises
above freezing.
• Neutral Wipe Inhibit — When the ignition is ON and
while the transmission shift lever is in the N (Neutral)
position, and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8
k/mh), the rain sensing feature will be suspended
unless the wiper switch is moved or the shift lever is
moved out of the N (Neutral) position.

off road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As long as
the lever is pushed in, the wipers will continue to
operate.
