LIFTGATE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous

to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

WARNING: Make sure that you fully

close the liftgate to prevent exhaust fumes
from entering your vehicle. If you are
unable to fully close the liftgate, open the
air vents or the windows to allow fresh air
to enter your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING: Keep keys out of reach

of children. Do not allow children to
operate or play near an open or moving
power liftgate. You should supervise the
operation of the power liftgate at all times.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

E270969

Push the lever up or down to
operate the windshield wiper.

E269410

Single wipe.

A

Intermittent wipe.

B

Normal wipe.

C

High-speed wipe.

D

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch the windshield wipers on.

Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.

Note:  If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades.  If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

Note:  Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield.  This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out.  Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.

Intermittent Wipe

E269411

Intermittent wipe.

A

Shortest wipe interval.

B

Longest wipe interval.

C

Use the rotary control to adjust the
intermittent wipe interval.

Speed Dependent Wipers

When your vehicle speed increases, the
interval between wipes decreases.

102

Wipers and Washers

AUTOWIPERS

Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,
snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.

E269411

Autowipers On.

A

High sensitivity.

B

Low sensitivity.

C

E270969

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers.

When you select low sensitivity, the wipers
operate when the sensor detects a large
amount of water on the windshield. When
you select high sensitivity, the wipers
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean. 
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit
the windshield.

In these conditions, you can do the following:
•

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on the
windshield.

•

Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.

•

Switch autowipers off.

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch the windshield wipers on.

Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.

Note:  If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades.  If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when
the windshield wipers continuously operate.

Autowipers Settings

This setting defaults to on and remains on
until you switch it off in the touchscreen.

When you switch the feature off, the wipers
do not operate based on the rain sensor.
When you switch on the windshield wipers
to the intermittent wipe position with the
feature off, the wipers use the wipe speed
set by the rotary control.

Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit

The rain sensing feature will not operate
immediately after starting your vehicle when
it is in park (P) and the outside temperature
is below 32°F (0°C). You can switch on the
wipers by adjusting the rain sensor sensitivity
or adjusting the wiper speed.

This prevents damage to the wiper blades
from ice and snow on the windshield.
