I was told that as well, but I'm 99% sure it's not even an option on my trim level.

The control is on the turn signal arm as well. The long white tapered scale is for the sensing wipers. You can turn it off and control the sensitivity/interval it wipes.
I have a '14 Limited and don't have them. Checking my spreadsheet from when I was looking, it appears "Rain Sensitive Windshield Wipers" are standard on the Citadel, and part of the Safety / Security and Convenience Group otherwise.
All that does on mine is control the interval time. I don't have anything on the EVIC to activate them either.

On the head unit I think I remember a setting for rain sensitive wipers, check box. Then your wiper arm controls its functions. You can tell if you have it by looking at your windshield from outside at the rear view mirror area and look for a triangular area in the blacked out section which has a camera in it to "SEE" the rain drops, then wipes. It's Kool but remember to turn off your wiper setting or turn ignition Off when washing windshield at filling station. Very Aggrevating......lol

Not as good as our 04 BMW but they do work on the 14' R/T control is check mark box on the touch screen.

Build sheet! Get your fresh build sheet here!
Dodge - Recall
Left side, "Equipment Listing". Put in your VIN and you'll see whether you got the rain sensing wipers or not.

It is on the 8.4 screen in one of the settings and your wipers have to stay on, on the turn signal for them to work automatically.
Only if you have them - they are not standard on all trim levels.

Yes, I agree, get your build sheet. I bought my Durango used and learned a couple things from the build sheet. it was pretty cool and very handy.
mine is a '11 Durango Crew with the Lux Package. I have the rain sensing wipers on mine. I didn't think I would use them at first. i'm not into 'nanny state' electronics. i still run Windows XP on every computer I can if that tells you anything.
but I've found I like the rain sensing wipers on these Durangos.

Once you click the wiper mist control at its lowest setting, the rain sensor is on....it will automatically make the wipers swipe fast or slowly based on how much rain is hitting the windshield. If you increase the dial, then you are just adjusting the manual mist setting, it doesn't affect the auto-rain sensor.

On the 14s, adjusting the wiper delay level from 1 to 4 increases the auto-rain sensitivity.
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
Ya...thats a bunch of crud. I have mine at the lowest setting and the wipers will go full speed when i encounter heavy rain, or light for light rain. Anything above the low setting make my wipers act like any other car's wipers when you increase the swipe rate.
