KNOWING YOUR CAR
WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk
fig. 32
controls
windscreen wiper/washer and heated
rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the
ignition key is at
MAR-ON
.
The stalk has five different positions
(four speed levels):
A
windscreen wiper off.
B
intermittent operation.
C
continuous slow operation.
D
continuous fast operation.
E
fast temporary operation
(spring-return position).
The temporary fast function lasts
as long as you manually keep the stalk
in that position. The stalk returns
to position
A
when it is released,
automatically stopping the windscreen
wipers.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate
the windscreen washer.
Keep the lever pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically if you keep the lever
pulled for over half a second.
The windscreen wiper stops operating
a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few
seconds, completes the wiping operation.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space surrounding
the car to be lit up for a certain period
of time.
Activation
With the ignition key on
STOP
or removed, pull the stalk towards
the steering wheel within 2 minutes
from when the engine is turned off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights
stay on for an extra 30 seconds up to
a maximum of 210 seconds; then the
lights are switched off automatically.
Every time the stalk is operated,
the warning light
3
on the instrument
panel switches on. The display will show
the time of activation.
The warning light comes on when the
stalk is pulled for the first time and stays
lit until the function switches itself
off automatically. Each time the stalk
is activated it increases the time that
the lights remain on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than two
seconds.

Never use the windscreen
wipers to remove layers
of snow or ice from
the windscreen. In these
conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort
resulting in the motor protection
cutting in and wiper operation being
inhibited for a few seconds.
If rear window wiper operation is not
reset, contact the Ford Dealership.
