How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Ford Focus?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the rear wiper on a Ford Focus is: The rear wiper switch is located on the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. You can operate the front wipers by moving the stalk up and down, and control the rear wiper by pushing or pulling the stalk to turn it off. Wipers are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The Ford Focus is a compact car with dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, a wheelbase of 2705mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, a curb weight of 1245kg, a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 153Nm.
When I first drove my Focus, I was also quite flustered when I couldn't figure out how to turn off the rear wiper. Actually, it's very simple - you just need to operate the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. You should either push the stalk back or rotate it to the off position, depending on the model year. For my 2020 Focus, gently pushing down the end of the stalk turns it off. If left on, the wiper keeps running which not only wastes battery power but also wears out the rubber blade, affecting its lifespan and windshield clarity. I suggest beginners practice finding the controls when parked at home to avoid distractions while driving. Also, regularly check the wiper blades for cracks or hardening, and replace them promptly to prevent sudden failures. Being safety-conscious is always the right approach.
