Without "information" - no safety: a good all-round view is a basic requirement for every armed road user. To avoid being left in your Mondeo even in rain, slush and snow without "external information", Ford has equipped your handsome Mondeo with two glass washing systems.
The windscreen is cleaned by a windscreen wiper, which usually has two speeds. In light drizzle or fog, the "first pulse contact" is used together with the intermittent windscreen wiper mode device. In the Mondeo, it automatically switches on both wipers approximately every four seconds. The rear window in the hatchback estate model is "processed" by the wiper in addition to the windscreen washer. Before switching on the windscreen wiper, heavily soiled windows are washed with water: the fastest way to get an overview is if the washer nozzles supply water to the upper third of the cleaning zone.
For professionals – new rubber wiper blade for spring and autumn
The service life of the windshield wiper rubber is limited: with each movement, the "oiled" road dirt, solid increments and salt residues treat the rubber poorly. Under the influence of ozone and ultraviolet rays, the rubber also hardens. Professionals replace the rubber with new ones in spring and autumn as a preventive measure.
With the proper pressing force of the windshield wiper arm, annoying stripes appear on the glass as the most obvious evidence of wear of the rubber band of the windshield wiper - proper replacement will not cause you any problems. Like most work with the windshield wiper, this procedure can be carried out, as a rule, independently. First, take a control look at the fuses and electrical wiring in the windshield wiper motors. If defects are already detected, then the chapter Electrical equipment will inform you about the upcoming repair.
