Rain-Sensing Wipers

Rain-sensing windshield wipers are a convenient feature available on Ford trucks and SUVs at Schicker Ford in St. Louis. These wipers utilize advanced sensor technology to detect moisture on the windshield and automatically activate the wipers as needed, providing increased driver visibility in rainy or wet conditions.

Key features and functionalities of rain-sensing windshield wipers include:

• Automatic Activation: Once the rain-sensing wiper system is turned on, it continuously monitors the windshield for the presence of moisture. As soon as it detects rain or other forms of moisture, the wipers are automatically activated, sparing the driver from manually adjusting the wiper speed.
• Variable Wiper Speed: Rain-sensing windshield wipers adjust their speed based on the intensity of the rain or moisture detected on the windshield. When it's lightly drizzling, the wipers may operate at a slower speed, and they will speed up in heavy rain conditions. This variability ensures that the windshield is adequately cleared without distracting the driver.
• Improved Driver Visibility: By automatically responding to changes in weather conditions, rain-sensing windshield wipers help maintain optimal visibility for the driver. This not only enhances safety but also allows the driver to focus on the road without the need to continuously adjust the wipers manually.
• User Control: While the rain-sensing wiper system operates automatically once turned on, drivers typically have the option to adjust the sensitivity or turn the system off if desired. This allows drivers to customize the wiper behavior based on their preferences.

Rain-sensing windshield wipers are especially valuable during unpredictable weather conditions, providing an added level of convenience and safety for the driver. By automatically responding to changing weather patterns, these wipers reduce driver workload and contribute to a more comfortable and focused driving experience.
