FORD 2012 Focus Electric - Manual (Page 138)

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Move the lever down for a single
wipe.
Move the control up one position for intermittent operation. Adjust
the rotary control to the desired speed.
Move the control up two positions for low-speed wiping or three
positions for high-speed wiping.
The wipers may be moved manually with the vehicle off. They may
automatically return to their normal position when the vehicle is turned
on.
When wiping on dry glass, the wipers may switch to the next lower
operating mode (low-speed or intermittent). The previous operation
mode may resume after the windshield becomes wet again.
Rain-Sensing Wipers (If Equipped)
The rain-sensing wipers will automatically activate when moisture is
present on the windshield and control is intermittent operation position.
Adjust the rotary control to the desired moisture sensitivity settings. The
speed of the rain-sensitive wipers will vary based on the amount of
moisture detected on the windshield and the sensitivity setting. There
are no interval (intermittent wipe) settings on vehicles with rain-sensing
wipers. The wipers will continue to wipe as long as the presence of
moisture is detected on the windshield. More or less wiping may occur
depending on humidity, mist or light rain, or road spray.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
rear view mirror where the sensor is located or rain sensor performance
may be affected.
Note: During winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these
conditions, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the amount of
smearing or override the feature by selecting low- or high-speed wiping
or turning the wiper system off.
Note: The wipers must be turned off before entering a car wash.
