    							USING POWER RUNNING
    BOARDS
    WARNINGS
    In extreme climates, excessive ice
    buildup may occur, causing the
    running boards not to deploy. Make
    sure that the running boards have
    deployed, and have finished moving before
    attempting to step on them. The running
    boards will resume normal function once
    the blockage is cleared. Turn off the running boards before
    jacking or placing any object under
    your vehicle. Never place your hand
    between the extended running board and
    your vehicle. A moving running board may
    cause injury. Note:
    Do not use the running boards, front
    and rear hinge assemblies, running board
    motors, or the running board underbody
    mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
    Always use proper jacking points.
    Note: The running boards may operate
    more slowly in cool temperatures.
    Note: The running board mechanism may
    trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
    salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
    happens, manually set the running boards
    to the deployed position. Then, wash the
    system, in particular the front and rear hinge
    arms, with a high-pressure car wash wand. Automatic Power Deploy The running boards automatically extend
    down and out when you open the door.
    This can help you enter and exit your
    vehicle.
    Automatic Power Stow
    When you close the doors, the running
    boards return to the stowed position after
    a two-second delay.
    Manual Power Deploy
    You can manually operate the running
    boards in the information display.  See
    General Information (page 110).
    Set the running boards in the deployed
    position to access the roof.
    The running boards return to the stowed
    position and enter automatic mode when
    the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
    Enabling and Disabling
    You can enable and disable the power
    running board feature in the information
    display.  See 
    General Information (page
    110).

    When disabled (OFF), the running
    boards move to the stowed position
    regardless of the door position.
    • When enabled (
    AUTO), the running
    boards move back to the correct
    positions based on the door position.
    Bounce-back
    The running board will reverse direction
    and move to the end of travel if it
    encounters an object while moving.

    							WINDSHIELD WIPERS
    Note:
    Fully defrost the windshield before
    switching on the windshield wipers.
    Note: Make sure you switch off the
    windshield wipers before entering a car
    wash.
    Note: Clean the windshield and wiper
    blades if they begin to leave streaks or
    smears. If that does not resolve the issue,
    install new wiper blades.
    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. Rotate the end of the control:
    •
    Away from you to increase the wiper
    speed.
    • Toward you to decrease the wiper
    speed.
    Speed dependent wipers (if
    equipped)
    When your vehicle speed increases, the
    interval between wipes decreases. AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
    Note: Make sure you switch off the wipers
    before entering a car wash.
    Note: Wet or winter driving conditions with
    ice, snow or salty road mist can cause
    inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
    smearing.
    In these conditions, you can do the
    following to help keep your windshield
    clear:
    • Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers.
    • Change the wiper speed to normal or
    high-speed wipe as necessary.
    • Switch the autowipers off.
    The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor,
    located in the area around the interior
    mirror. The rain sensor monitors the
    amount of moisture on the windshield and
    automatically turns on the wipers. It will
    adjust the wiper speed by the amount of
    moisture that the sensor detects on the
    windshield. You can switch this feature on
    or off in the information display.  See
    Information Displays
     (page 110). 85
    F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wipers and WashersE172816 E172817   
    						
    							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. Adjust the
    rotary control toward the windshield to
    increase the moisture sensitivity.
    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.
    The courtesy wipe feature turns on after
    using the windshield washers to remove
    any excess washer fluid and debris.
    Note:
    You can adjust the courtesy wipe
    settings in the instrument cluster.  See
    Information Displays (page 110).
    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 110).

    fog. Always ensure that your headlamps
    are switched to auto or on, as appropriate,
    during all low visibility conditions. Failure
    to do so may result in a collision. When the lighting control is in the
    autolamps position, the headlamps
    automatically turn on in low light situations
    or when the wipers activate.
