Fluid): ; Note: ; Rainsense™ II Windshield Wipers (if equipped) and Heated Washer- Page 17

The Rainsense™ II windshield wipers use a moisture sensor to automatically operate the

wipers when needed, depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. If the system

is left on for long periods, an occasional wipe may occur without any moisture on the wind-

shield to indicate the system is activated.

The headlamps and parking lamps also will be turned on automatically when the Rainsense

wipers are active if the exterior lamp control switch is in the AUTO position. The controls for the

windshield wipers are located on the multifunction stalk on the left side of the steering column.
