Let’s see how the light controls and those on the steering wheel work on the Ford Focus. When the vehicle is started, the lights automatically position themselves, meaning they turn on by themselves when the light sensors detect dusk or darkness.

Naturally, you can adjust them manually as desired. On the high beam lever, you also have the indicators and the option to set the lane keeping assist.

On the right side, there is the wiper lever, with positions upwards. The first is for the automatic rain sensor, where you can set a different level of sensitivity using a dial.

Pulling the lever towards you activates the rear wiper. On the left side of the steering wheel, you have the speed limiter, allowing you to set a maximum speed not to be exceeded, with the option to increase or decrease it using the +/– buttons.

On the right side, you have access to the onboard computer, with a scrolling button that allows you to scroll through the various options. At the back, there are the voice call buttons.
