Wipers and Washers Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash. 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. Note: If you switch on the autolamps feature in conjunction with autowipers, your low beam headlamps will turn on automatically when the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers to a normal wipe speed. E173730 A B C Highest sensitivity On Lowest sensitivity WINDSHIELD WASHERS Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor. There are six sensitivity settings. When you set the control to low sensitivity (the first position), the wipers turn on when there is a large amount of moisture on the windshield. When you set the control to high sensitivity (the sixth position), the wipers will turn on when there is a small amount of moisture on the windshield. 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. 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. • Switch off the autowipers. Note: Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield wipers. E173731 To operate the washers and spray the windshield, pull the lever toward you. 67 Mustang (), enUSA, First Printing
