WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers and vehicle power off before using
an automatic car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 175). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades
(page
176).
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 washers before wiping a dry
windshield.
Note: 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. Single wipe.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B
Normal wipe.
C
High-speed wipe.
D Note:
Move to position
O marked on the
wiper lever to switch off.
Intermittent Wipe Short-wipe interval.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B

to adjust the intermittent wipe interval.
Speed Dependent Wipers (If Equipped)
When your vehicle speed increases, the
interval between wipes decreases.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

2018 Focus (CDH) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Canada/United States of America, JM5J 19A321 RA enUSA, Edition date: 201706, First Printing Wipers and WashersE197525 E197526

Your vehicle is fitted with a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery which normally
does not require additional water.
Note:
After cleaning or replacing the
battery, make sure you reinstall the battery
cover or shield.
When a battery replacement is required,
you must use a recommended
replacement battery that matches the
electrical requirements of the vehicle.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer for low
voltage battery access, testing or
replacement.
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection
directly to the low voltage battery negative
post. This can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition
and potential incorrect system operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect the low voltage battery performance
and durability. This may also affect the
performance of other electrical systems in
the vehicle.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
top of the battery clean and dry.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or
terminals, remove the cables from the
terminals and clean with a wire brush. You
can neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
A computer electronically controls your
vehicle. The power of the low voltage
battery maintains the memory of some
settings, for example, clock setting or radio
presets. When the low voltage battery is
disconnected and then connected, these
settings erase.
To restore the settings, do the following:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N). 3. Switch off all accessories.
4. Press the brake pedal and start your
vehicle.
5. Reset the clock.
6. Reset the bounce-back feature. See Power Windows (page 71).
7. Reset the radio station presets. See Audio System
(page 223).
Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek
advice from your local authority about
recycling old batteries.
If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery, we
recommend that you disconnect the
battery cables to maintain battery charge
for quick starting.
CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.

BLADES
Note:
If streaks or smears appear on the

issue, install new wiper blades.
Service Position Set the windshield wipers in the service
position to change the wiper blades. The
windshield wipers return to the starting
position when you switch the ignition on.

hold the wiper lever in position A within

to the service position manually when the
ignition is on. The wiper arms lock when you
switch the ignition on.

•
Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
• Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
cleaning the interior of the windshield,
avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
any glass cleaner off these surfaces
immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines. CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach
or dye on the vehicle's seatbelts, as
these actions may weaken the belt
webbing. On vehicles equipped with
seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong
detergents. Such products could
contaminate the side airbag system and
affect performance of the side airbag in a
crash. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and seats
equipped with side airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the
material, spot-clean the area first with
Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose
Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate)
or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning
products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect
the flame retardant abilities of the seat
materials.
