Headlamps On With Wipers On Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the exterior lamps turn on when the front wipers are on for more than 3 seconds (if wipers are turned on manually) or 30 seconds (if the wipers are on from the rain sensing wiper system). This feature does not activate the exterior lamps during a mist wipe or while the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition.

The exterior lamps turn off when the ignition is changed to OFF or ACCESSORY, the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, or the front wipers are off for more than 30 seconds (60 seconds if on from the rain sensing wiper system). The exception to this is when the exterior lights are on because of darkness determined by the light sensor.
