How to Use the Automatic Sensing Function of the Mondeo Windshield Wiper?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to use the automatic sensing function of the Mondeo windshield wiper: 1. Pull the wiper control lever inward to activate the windshield cleaning function. 2. When the control lever is in the intermittent or automatic wiper position, push it up one more notch to activate the low-speed mode. To activate the high-speed mode, simply push the lever to the topmost position. 3. If you want to adjust the sensitivity of the rain-sensing wiper, use the knob/lever in the center of the control lever. 4. The symbol on the lever indicates the wiper off position; when moved to this position, the wiper stops working. 5. The wiper automatically returns to its original position after one operation.
When I first got the Mondeo, I was quite curious about how to turn on the automatic wipers—nothing more nerve-wracking for a new driver than encountering rain on the highway. Simply push the wiper control stalk up to the AUTO position, usually the topmost setting on the right-side lever. It then uses a sensor to detect raindrops on the windshield, activating a swipe or two for light rain and running more frequently during heavy downpours. To adjust sensitivity, there’s a small rotary dial on the stalk—too frequent is annoying, too sparse risks poor visibility. I make it a habit to check that the windshield is clean and the sensor unobstructed before driving, ensuring a hassle-free, confident drive in the rain without frantic manual adjustments.
