WINDOW WASHING
The right stalk
fig. 34
controls
windscreen wiper/washer and heated
rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can work only when the
ignition key is on
MAR
.
The stalk has 5 different positions
(4 speeds):
A
windscreen wiper off.
B
intermittent.
C
continuous slow.
D
continuous fast.
E
temporary fast (unstable position).
The temporary fast function lasts as
long as you manually keep the stalk in
that position. When released, the stalk
will return to position
A
and the wiper
will be automatically stopped.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer jet.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate with a
single movement the windscreen
washer jet and the windscreen wiper;
the latter automatically turns on if you
keep the stalk 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 function allows the illumination of
the space in front of the car for a preset
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.
At each single movement of the stalk,
the staying on of the lights is extended
by 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210
seconds; then the lights are switched off
automatically.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning light
3
on the instrument
panel turns on and the display shows
how long the function remains active.
The warning light turns on the first time
the stalk is operated, and stays on until
the function is automatically
deactivated. Each time you operate the
lever, only the permanence of lights
increases.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than 2 seconds.

Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress
and the motor protection which
prevents operation for a few seconds
may trip.
If rear window wiper operation is not
reset, contact the Ford Dealership.
