Driver Controls -> Windshield wiper/washer control for Your Ford Fusion 4 Door First Generation (2006-2012)

Driver Controls  
MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER  
Windshield wiper: Rotate the end  
of the control away from you to  
increase the speed of the wipers;  
rotate towards you to decrease the  
speed of the wipers.  
Speed dependent wipers (if equipped): When the wiper control is set  
to any of the interval settings except the longest pause setting, the pause  
time between wiping will automatically adjust with the vehicle speed.  
The faster your vehicle is travelling the shorter the pause time between  
wipes will become.  
Rain-sensing wipers (if equipped): The rain-sensing wipers will  
automatically activate when moisture is present on the windshield and  
the multi-function switch is set to one of five auto/interval moisture  
sensitivity settings. Rotate the end of the control toward the windshield  
to increase the sensitivity. The speed of the rain-sensitive wipers will  
vary based on the amount of moisture detected on the windshield and  
the auto/interval 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.
