OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers.

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades

before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,

carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do

become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.

A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear

away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated

headlamps. After the windshield wipers have been on

for approximately six seconds, the headlamps will

automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps

on page 3-16 for more information.

Rainsense™ II Wipers

If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is

mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the

rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the

wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on

the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the

windshield depending on driving conditions and

the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes

will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur

more frequently. The Rainsense™ II wipers operate in a

delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed

as needed. If the system is left on for long periods

of time, occasional wipes may occur without any

moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates

that the Rainsense™ II system is activated.

The Rainsense™ II system can be activated by turning

the wiper band to one of the ﬁve sensitivity levels

indicated on the wiper stalk. The position closest to OFF

is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows

more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between

wipes. Turning the wiper band away from you to

higher sensitivity levels increases the sensitivity of the

system and frequency of wipes. The highest sensitivity

setting, level ﬁve is closest to LO. A single wipe will

occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher

sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has

been increased.
