Intermittent Wipers
The intermittent feature of this system was

cycles, desirable. For maximum delay between

cycles, rotate the control knob upward to the first

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The delay interval decreases as you rotate the

knob until it enters the low continual speed

position. The delay can be regulated from a

maximum of about 18 seconds between cycles, to

a cycle every one second. The delay intervals will

double in duration when the vehicle speed is

10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward and hold. Washer fluid will be sprayed and

the wiper will operate for two to three cycles after

the washer knob is released.
If the washer knob pushed while in the delay range,

the wiper will operate for several seconds after the

washer knob is released. It will then resume the

intermittent interval previously selected. If the

washer knob is pushed while in the off position, the

wiper will turn on and cycle approximately three

times after the wash knob is released.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer

system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture

that meets or exceeds the temperature range of

your climate. This rating information can be found

on most washer fluid containers.

Mist
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray

from a passing vehicle is needed, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward briefly and release. The wipers will cycle

one time and automatically shut off.

NOTE:

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.

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the

windshield and automatically activates the wipers.

Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of

four detent positions 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 detent position

four is the most sensitive.
Wiper delay position three should be used for

normal rain conditions.
Positions one and two can be used if the driver

desires less wiper sensitivity. Position four can be

used if the driver desires more sensitivity. Place

the wiper switch in the O (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 prop

the windshield.



Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield

could lead to a collision. You might not see other

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 placed in the ON position, the Rain

Sensing system will not operate until the wiper

switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than

3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside temperature is

greater than 32°F (0°C).



Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the

ignition is ON, and the automatic transmission

is in the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing

system will not operate until the wiper switch is

moved, vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph

(5 km/h), or the gear selector is moved out of

the NEUTRAL position.



Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles

equipped with a Remote Start system, Rain

Sensing wipers are not operational when the

vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with

a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper

corrosion protection and to protect against engine

overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to

MS.90032) is recommended.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster

performance, make sure the engine cooling

system is functioning properly and the proper

amount, type, and concentration of coolant is

used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during

Winter months is not recommended, because it

may cause window fogging.

Window Fogging

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild,

as fogging may occur.

Outside Air Intake

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of

the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as

leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may

reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution

box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter

months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,

slush, and snow.

Cabin Air Filter

The Climate Control system filters out dust and

pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to

service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced
