Windscreen Washers - Ford Fiesta Owner's Handbook Manual

Depending on the equipment fitted, when
the ignition is switched on with the lever
already in position B, the wipers will not
cycle until water is detected on the
windscreen. Alternatively, move the lever
to another position and then back to B,
or operate the washer.
Thereafter, the rain sensor will
continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust the
speed of the front wipers automatically
(single wipe, intermittent, normal or high
speed wipe).

When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.
Moving the wiper lever when the system
is operating will switch off the system.
If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.
