Windshield Washers - Ford EVEREST Owner's Manual

Note: During wet or winter driving
conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or
smearing may occur.
In these conditions, you can do the
following:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off.
Note: Make sure the wiper is switched off
before switching the ignition off. Otherwise,
the wipers will stop at the current operating
position.

A High sensitivity.
B On.
C Low sensitivity.
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.

Wipers and Washers
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.
