How to Use the Focus Wiper?
2 Answers
The usage of the Focus wiper is as follows: 1. Push the entire wiper control lever down one position for a single wipe. 2. Push it up one position for intermittent wiping mode. 3. Push it up two positions for low-speed wiping mode. 4. Push it up three positions for high-speed wiping mode. 5. Push it back one position for front wiper washing. 6. Push it forward one position for rear wiper washing. Here is some extended information about the Focus: 1. The Focus is a compact sedan with 4 doors and 5 seats. 2. The body dimensions are 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. 3. The Focus is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 90 kW and a maximum torque of 153 Nm.
Using the wipers on the Focus is pretty straightforward—the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel is the key. To clean the windshield, gently pull the stalk toward yourself, and it will swipe briefly before resetting. Pushing the stalk away from the driver activates the washer fluid spray, with the wipers automatically running for a few seconds to clear dust or rain. Adjusting the wiper speed: Pulling the stalk down to the first position sets it to intermittent mode, with a rotary knob nearby to tweak the swipe frequency. The second position down is low-speed wiping, while pulling it all the way down engages high-speed mode for heavy rain. If equipped with a rear wiper, twisting the knob at the end of the stalk usually turns it on/off. Topping up washer fluid is crucial—check the reservoir in the engine bay to ensure it’s full, as running dry can streak or scratch the glass. I also recommend replacing wiper blades yearly to prevent degraded performance from obstructing visibility, especially on long drives where safety comes first. These operations are intuitive enough to handle while driving without much distraction.
