This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Clear snow, ice, salt and wax residue from the windshield and sensor area.
- 02
Enable Rain Sensing through Uconnect Settings.
- 03
Rotate the lever end from O to intermittent detent one for the least sensitivity.
- 04
Use intermittent detent two for the most sensitivity and confirm the initial wipe.
- 05
Return the switch to O when automatic operation is not wanted.
Important limits
- Rain sensing does not operate in low- or high-speed wiper positions.
- It is inhibited during Remote Start and can be temporarily inhibited when the ignition is switched on with the lever already intermittent.
- Ice, salt, wax or silicone can impair detection.
Quick checks.
- ✓Move the lever from O to an intermittent detent or issue one Mist command to reactivate after inhibition.
- ✓Shift out of Neutral or exceed 3 mph (5 km/h) when the documented Neutral inhibit applies.
- ✓Clean the sensor area and verify the Uconnect setting if response remains poor.
