WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Windshield Wiper Stalk
The windshield wiper stalk is located on
the right side of the steering wheel.
The windshield wipers will only operate
with the ignition cycled to ON.
Caution!
Turn the windshield wipers off when
driving through an automatic car wash.
Damage to the windshield wipers may result
if the wiper control is left in any position
other than off.
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
“Park” position before turning off the
engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to
the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle
is restarted.
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper control is turned off and
the blades cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

stalk can be set to the following
positions:
Windshield Wiper Off.
Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing.
High Sensitivity Rain Sensing.
Low Continuous Wiper Speed.
High Continuous Wiper Speed.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotating the switch to the
position
activates the first (low) level continuous
speed of the windshield wipers in manual
mode.
Rotating the switch to the
position
activates the second (high) level
continuous speed of the windshield
wipers in manual mode.
Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the
position,
activates the first, less sensitive level of
the Rain Sensing function.
Rotating the switch to the
position,
activates the second, more sensitive level
of the Rain Sensing function. Refer to
“Rain Sensor” in this section for more
information on how this system functions.
Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the stalk toward the steering wheel
to operate the windshield washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the
windshield washer jet and the windshield
wiper with a single movement.The wipers
and washers will continue to operate until
you let go of the stalk.
The windshield wiper stops working three
strokes after the stalk is released,
followed by a final stroke six seconds
later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Use this feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of the
wipers necessary. Push the stalk upward
to the MISTposition and release for a
single wiping cycle.This function is useful
to remove small deposits of dust from
the windshield or morning dew.
Note:
This function does not activate the
windshield washer.To spray windshield
washer fluid onto the windshield, the
washing function must be used.
Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles.To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
Rain Sensor

interior rear view mirror.This feature
senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for
the driver.

The feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray 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 sensor has an adjustment range that
varies progressively from wiper still
(no stroke) when the windshield is dry, to
wiper at continuous speed (fast
operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to position
or
activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system
is done by tapping the wiper stalk
upwards while the switch is in the
or
position.
The variation in sensitivity during rain
sensor operation is also signaled by a
stroke of the wiper (command acquired
and implemented).This stroke is also
executed with the windshield dry.
If the windshield washer is used with the
rain sensor activated, the normal washing
cycle is performed, after which the rain
sensor resumes its normal automatic
operation.
Note:
Keep the glass in the sensor area
clean.
Deactivation
Use the wiper switch or cycle the ignition
to STOP.
In the event of malfunction of the rain
sensor while it is active, the windshield
wiper operates intermittently at a speed
consistent with the sensitivity setting of
the rain sensor, whether or not there is
rain on the glass for as long as the sensor
failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to
continuous mode
or
.The failure
indication remains on for as long as the
sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the
presence of the following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled
surface (e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused
by the worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
