QUIPPED

This feature senses rain or snowfall on the

windshield and automatically activates the

wipers. Rotate the end of the multifunction

lever to one of five detent positions 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 5 is

the most sensitive. Position 3 should be used for

normal rain conditions. Positions 1 and 2 can be

used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity.

Positions 4 and 5 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

properly when ice, or dried salt water is

present on the windshield.



Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili

-

cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.



The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and

off using the Uconnect system

Ú

page 228.

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 igni

-

tion 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 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside

temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).



Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When

the ignition is ON, and the transmission is in

the NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing

system will not operate until the wiper switch

is moved, vehicle speed is greater than

5 mph (8 km/h), or the gear selector is

moved out of the NEUTRAL position.



Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles

equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain

Sensing wipers are not operational when the

vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the

operator is in the vehicle and has placed the

ignition switch in the RUN position, Rain

Sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has

been selected, and no other inhibit condi

-

tions (mentioned previously) exist.

CLIMATE CONTROLS

The Climate Control system allows you to

regulate the temperature, air flow, and direction

of air circulating throughout the vehicle.

The controls are located on the touchscreen

(if equipped), on the sides of the touchscreen,

or on the instrument panel below the radio.

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)

Panel.

2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like

the system to maintain by adjusting the

driver and passenger temperature control

buttons. Once the desired temperature is

displayed, the system will achieve and

automatically maintain that comfort level.

3. When the system is set up for your comfort

level, it is not necessary to change the

settings. You will experience the greatest

efficiency by simply allowing the system to

function automatically.

NOTE:



It is not necessary to move the temperature

settings for cold or hot vehicles. The system

NOTE:

Refer to the chart at the end of this section for

suggested control settings for various weather

conditions.

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.

Vacation/Storage

For information on maintaining the Climate

Control system when the vehicle is being stored

for an extended period of time, see

Ú

page 427.

Window Fogging

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild,

rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the

windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and

increase the front blower speed. Do not use the

Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods,

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 plenum, 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 when needed.
