Reverse Gear Wipe Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the windshield wiper system is activated by the wiper/washer switch (or moisture is detected on the windshield if equipped with rain sensitive wipers) and the selector lever is placed in the REVERSE position, the rear wiper activates automatically. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the message center. For additional information on enabling/disabling this feature, refer to the Owner's Literature.
