Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped

This feature senses moisture 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 one is the least

sensitive, and wiper delay position four is the most

sensitive. Setting three should be used for normal rain

conditions. Settings one and two can be used if the driver

desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting four can be used if

the driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch

in the OFF position when not using the system.
NOTE:

• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the

wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.

• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly

when ice, or dried salt water is present on the wind-

shield.

• Use of Rain-X® or products containing wax or silicone

may reduce Rain Sensing performance.

• The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off

using the Uconnect® System, refer to “Uconnect®

Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”

for further information.

The Rain Sensing system has protection features for the

wiper blades and arms, and will not operate under the

following conditions:

Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is

first turned ON, the Rain Sensing system will not

operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed

is greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside tem-

perature is greater than 32°F (0°C).
