BULB REPLACEMENT
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
134Lighting
2013 Focus Electric Vehicle(fob)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing
USA(fus)

condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
These are examples of acceptable condensation:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
These are examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp
water leak):
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to ensure
lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The
correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp
assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Move the lever down for a single
wipe.
Move the control up one
position for intermittent operation.
Adjust the rotary control to the
desired speed.
Move the control up two positions
for low-speed wiping or three positions for high-speed wiping.
The wipers may be moved manually with the vehicle off. They may
automatically return to their normal position when the vehicle is turned
on.
When wiping on dry glass, the wipers may switch to the next lower
operating mode (low-speed or intermittent). The previous operation
mode may resume after the windshield becomes wet again.
Rain-Sensing Wipers (If Equipped)
The rain-sensing wipers will automatically activate when moisture is
present on the windshield and control is intermittent operation position.
Adjust the rotary control to the desired moisture sensitivity settings. The
speed of the rain-sensitive wipers will vary based on the amount of
moisture detected on the windshield and the sensitivity setting. There
are no interval (intermittent wipe) settings on vehicles with rain-sensing
wipers. The wipers will continue to wipe as long as the presence of
moisture is detected on the windshield. More or less wiping may occur
depending on humidity, mist or light rain, or road spray.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
rear view mirror where the sensor is located or rain sensor performance
may be affected.
Note:During winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these
conditions, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the amount of
smearing or override the feature by selecting low- or high-speed wiping
or turning the wiper system off.
Note:The wipers must be turned off before entering a car wash.
Windshield Washer
Pull the control toward you to activate the windshield washer.
Release the control to stop washer fluid spray. The wipers will operate
for a short time after the washer is turned off.
