Headlights with Wipers (Available with Auto
Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on
approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned on
if the multifunction lever (on the left side of the steering
column) is placed in the AUTO position. In addition, the
headlights will turn off when the wipers are turned off if
they were turned on by this feature.
The Headlights with Wipers feature can be turned on or
off through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) if equipped. For details, refer to ”Headlights
On with Wipers,” under “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” under “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center” in Section 4 of this manual.
Rain Sensing Wipers If Equipped
This feature senses moisture on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers for the driver. This
feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray
from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate
the end of the windshield wiper/washer control lever to
one of the five intermittent wiper settings to activate this
feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the
windshield wiper/washer control lever. Wiper delay
position 1 is the least sensitive and wiper delay position
5 is the most sensitive. Choose position 3 for normal rain
conditions. Choose position 2 or 1 if you desire less wiper
sensitivity. Choose position 4 or 5 if you desire more
sensitivity. Place the lever in the off position when not
using the system.
NOTE:
The rain-sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper speed is in the low or high position.
The rain-sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.
