Rain Sensitive Wipers (if equipped)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When equipped, the rain sensitive wipers feature replaces the standard intermittent wiper feature. The multifunction switch must be positioned to any of the 5 auto/intermittent settings to activate the rain sensitive wipers. The lowest setting (closest to OFF) is the least sensitive to moisture. The highest setting is the most sensitive to moisture. The windshield wipers cycle when the multifunction switch is placed into or changing between the auto/intermittent settings. When the rain sensitive wiper feature is active, the system adjusts the wiper speed automatically when moisture is detected on the windshield.

A lens/bracket service kit is available to repair/replace a detached bracket or a damaged/contaminated gel-type lens. The rain sensor gel-type lens cannot be reused on a rain sensor of this type. When reinstalling a rain sensor, a new lens from the lens/bracket service kit must be installed to the rain sensor. Refer to RAIN SENSOR .
