Wipers And Washers; Windshield Wipers; Autowipers; Intermittent Wipe - Ford Escape 2013 Owner's Manual

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
switching on the windshield wipers.
Note: Make sure the windshield wipers are
switched off before entering a car wash.
Note: Clean the windshield and wiper
blades if they begin to leave streaks or
smears. If that doesn't 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.

conjunction with autowipers, your low beam
headlamps will illuminate automatically
when the rain sensor activates the
windshield wipers continuously.
