Windshield Washers - Ford RANGER Owner's Manual

The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor
that is located in the area around the
interior rear view mirror. The rain sensor
monitors the amount of moisture on the
windshield and automatically turns the
wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed by
the amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the
control to low sensitivity, and the wipers
will turn on when the rain sensor detects
a large amount of moisture on the
windshield. Set the control to high
sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when
the rain sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive. Dirt or
debris around the interior rear view mirror
area will affect the autowipers'
performance. For example, the autowipers
may turn on if dirt, mist or insects hit the
windshield.
