The method to turn off the rear wiper of a Focus is: 1. Open the driver's door and locate the wiper control lever; 2. Push the wiper control lever backward one gear. The function of the wiper is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and increasing driving safety. The method to replace the wiper is: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm on the windshield, position it perpendicular to the windshield and keep it stable; 2. Press the tab, remove the old wiper blade, and separate it from the metal arm; 3. Insert the new wiper; 4. Hook it into place securely, then place the wiper back onto the windshield.
When I first drove a Focus, I also kept wondering how to turn off the rear wiper. It's actually quite simple: locate the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, which has several rotating rings specifically for controlling the front and rear wipers. To turn off the rear wiper, you usually just need to twist the outermost ring to the OFF position or give it a quick flick—there’s a small icon indicating when the wiper is off. Some models automatically activate the rear wiper when reversing, so it’s safer to manually turn it off before parking. After a few months of driving, I got used to it and now always double-check during rainy days to make sure it’s not accidentally on. Remember, if the button feels loose or responds slowly, it might be due to aging wiring—just replace a small part in time. Don’t stress too much; you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.
