Windshield Washers; Rear Window Wiper And Washers - Lincoln 2017 MKC Owner's Manual

Note: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low beam
headlamps turn on automatically when the
rain sensor activates the windshield wipers
continuously. See General Information
(page 108).
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit
the windshield.
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,
snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing. In these conditions, you can do
the following to help keep your windshield
clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe by
moving the wiper lever up.
• Switch the autowipers off and switch
intermittent mode on through the
information display. See General
Information (page 108).
• Switch the autowipers off by moving the
wiper lever down.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades
if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If
that does not resolve the issue, install new
wiper blades. See Changing the Wiper
Blades (page 298).

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

Note: Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This may cause
