2014 FORD F150 Owners Manual

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. With high
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean
because the rain sensor is very sensitive. If
the area around the interior mirror is dirty,
then the wipers may turn on, for example,
if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the
windshield washer before wiping a dry
windshield.
Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat. •
A brief press causes a single wipe
without washer fluid.
• A brief press and hold causes the
wipers to swipe three times with
washer fluid.
• A long press and hold will turn on the
wipers and washer fluid for up to 10
seconds. A wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing to clear any remaining washer
fluid. You can switch this feature on or off
in the information display. See
Information Displays (page 87).

Do not leave children unattended in
your vehicle and do not let them play
with the power windows. They may
seriously injure themselves. When closing the power windows,
you should verify they are free of
obstructions and make sure that
children and pets are not in the proximity
of the window openings. Note:
You may hear a pulsing noise when

once the motor cools.
Restoring the One-Touch Up Function
You may lose the one-touch function if the
vehicle battery is low. Note:
Perform one-touch up re-calibration
with the door closed. Calibrating with the
door open will cause the window to

2. Hold the switch until the glass stops and continue to hold for two seconds.
3. Press the switch down and operate the

Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature WARNING
When you override the bounce-back
feature, the window will not reverse
if it detects an obstacle. Take care
when closing the windows to avoid
personal injury or damage to your vehicle. Pull up the window switch and hold within
two seconds of the window reaching the
bounce-back position. The window will
travel up with no bounce-back protection.
The window will stop if you release the
switch before the window closes fully.
