Ford C-MAX Hybrid / Energi (2016 year). Manual - part 17

 

 

E197526

Highest sensitivity.

A

On.

B

Lowest sensitivity.

C

Switch the autowipers on by moving the
wiper lever up to the first position.

Switch the autowipers off by moving the
wiper lever down.

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor:

Rotate the control down to low
sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when
the rain sensor detects a large amount
of moisture on the windshield.

When you move the wiper lever up
to the first position and the
autowiper system is on, the
autowiper sensitivity setting adjusts
the wiper speed according to the
moisture on the windshield only.

When you lower the sensitivity, the
wipers remain in their ready
position only. They do not wipe the
windshield automatically unless
the sensor detects moisture.

Move the wiper lever position up to
the second position to wipe the
windshield on-demand.

Rotate the control up to high
sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when
the rain sensor detects a small amount
of moisture on the windshield.

When you set the wiper control to
a higher sensitivity, the wipers wipe
the windshield once.

Remember to move the wiper lever
position up to the second position
to wipe the windshield on-demand.

The autowipers feature is active and ready
when the wiper lever is in the first position
and selected in the information display.
You can change the autowipers feature to
intermittent wipers through the
information display.  See General
Information (page 93).

Note: Check your wiper function in the
information display.  See General
Information
 (page 93).  T
he autowipers
feature functions only when you select the
menu choice in the information display and
you move the wiper lever up to the first
position. The autowipers feature then
remains on in the information display menu
until you change it to intermittent wipe.

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 Autolamps (page 75).

Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area
around the mirror is dirty, then 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 93).

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 229).

the washer reservoir is empty. This may

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:

A water puddle inside the lamp.

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
