What are rain-sensing windshield wipers? 

Rain-sensing windshield wipers turn on when water hits the windshield of your car. They automatically set their speed based on how wet the windshield is. You can turn this feature on or off using your vehicle’s touchscreen. 

How to wash your vehicle’s windshield 

You can press the button at the end of the windshield wiper knob to use windshield wiper fluid on your vehicle’s windshield. One press of the button sprays the windshield and activates the wipers, making it a convenient way to wash your vehicle’s windshield. The rear window washer is activated by turning the rear window wiper knob all the way back or forward and holding it for a moment. 

What if my windshield washer isn’t working? 

There’s a chance that your vehicle has run out of windshield wiper fluid. This fluid can be easily replaced, so don’t worry. Once you’ve refilled the compartment, it should work again. 

How to turn off the automatic windshield wash my Ford does 

If you notice that your windshield wipers do an automatic wash when you turn them off, that’s called a courtesy wipe. You can turn that off using the settings on your Ford car’s touchscreen. Watch the video above for a visual.
