Without «information» – no safety: good all-round visibility is a basic requirement for every armed road user. In order not to stay in your Mondeo even during rain, slush and snow without «outdoor information», Ford has equipped your handsome Mondeo with two glass cleaners.
The front glass is cleaned by a windscreen wiper, which most often has two speeds. In light drizzle or fog, use «first impulse contact» in conjunction with an intermittent wiper device. On the Mondeo, it automatically turns on both wipers about every four seconds. Rear window in hatchback station wagon model cleaner «handles» additionally with windshield washer. Heavily soiled windows are washed with water before the wiper is activated: the fastest way to get an overview is if the washer nozzles supply water to the upper third of the cleaning zone.
For professionals - a new rubber band for the windshield wiper in spring and autumn
The life of the wiper rubber is limited: it does not treat the rubber with every movement «oiled» road dirt, hard increments and salt residues. Under the influence of ozone and ultraviolet rays, rubber also hardens. For prevention, professionals replace tires with new ones in spring and autumn.
With proper wiper arm pressure, annoying streaks will appear on the glass as the most obvious evidence of worn wiper rubber band - proper replacement will not give you any problems. Like most windshield wiper work, this procedure can usually be done on your own. Take a quick look at the fuses and electrical wiring in the wiper motors first. If defects are already detected at the same time, then the head of Electrical Equipment will inform you about the upcoming repair.
