Imagine cruising down the highway, a sudden downpour starts and your Ford adjusts to the changing conditions automatically. That’s the magic of rain-sensing windshield wipers, a technology that offers both convenience and safety benefits for drivers. How do Ford rain-sensing windshield wipers work? We’ll reveal the answer below, so stick with Sherwood Ford of Sherwood Park, AB.
Behind the scenes, a tiny but powerful sensor resides near your rearview mirror. This sensor uses infrared light to detect moisture on your windshield. When it rains, the change in light reflection triggers the wipers to activate, automatically adjusting their speed based on the rain intensity.
While incredibly convenient, rain-sensing wipers have a limitation. Remember to deactivate the system before entering an automatic car wash. The sensor can misinterpret the high-pressure water jets as rain, causing unwanted wiper activation.
Rain-sensing windshield wipers are just one of the many innovative features that Ford offers. This technology promotes driver safety and a more relaxed driving experience. So, next time you’re on the road, let the rain fall without a worry; your Ford will take care of it.
