Heated VisioBlade Wiper System on the Lincoln Aviator

- The next winter storm is just around the corner, but that icy sleet pelting windshields won’t stand a chance against the 2020 Lincoln Aviator equipped with intuitive and time-saving technology like heated VisioBlade wipers designed to help make winter driving virtually effortless.
The available VisioBlade washer and wiper system has a multitude of features intended to restrain Mother Nature and keep windshields clear of dirt, grime and icy buildup. Unlike traditional systems that dispense wiper fluid through nozzles in front of the windshield, it dispenses wiper fluid through integrated nozzles in the blades themselves.
It’s an option that could come in handy soon. Weather forecasts are predicting challenging conditions throughout the entire country this winter. The Northeast is projected to see snowstorms and ice storms, with above-normal snowfall predicted from New York City to Boston. The North Central plains and the Midwest, meanwhile, could be dealing with another polar vortex combined with above-normal snowfall.
This solution improves the distribution of the spray as the wipers move, which cleans the windshield more efficiently, said Geoffrey Johnson, Lincoln body core engineer.
“It sprays in front of the blade, unlike traditional systems that spray the entire windshield,” he said. “You’re using up to 50 percent less fluid than a traditional system, and you’re improving both day and night visibility by spraying directly in front of the blade as it travels, not over the entire windshield.”
A heating element integrated into the assembly keeps the wiper blades warm and prevents icy buildup, both on the blades and the windshield. Internal tests show the blades can heat from subfreezing temperatures to 86 degrees Fahrenheit in 4 minutes; a traditional defroster alone can take up to 15 minutes to clear an ice-caked windshield. The flat-blade shape also assists in keeping the blade pressed against the glass, enhancing wiping and washing performance at highway speeds.

Doesn't look very useful. Also the rubber of the blades will be destroyed very quickly.
Mr L You’ve done test yourself?, or you’re going based of what you see ?
Supreme Etnel "Doesn't" is different of "It's not useful" Also you have window defroster option on many cars and they are pretty good.
@@1MrLuar I'm sure this car also have regular windows defrosters as well with the heated blades. Rubber breaks down faster from uv and ozone, not much from heat and cold. Otherwise all your engine rubber hoses wouldn't last as long as they do. This test didn't show how cold the air temp was. I'm sure that may affect the effectiveness too. But based on my experience with just windows defrosters alone on my cars, this is a lot faster to clear that windshield.
Mr L A quick spray from the windshield washer would have solved this almost immediately.
"Hey let's make a heated blade system but still use normal blade rubber. "
They made a cut in the video because it took too long
Two cuts actually. Looks like it would at least be useful during actual driving, keeping the windshield clean
We need a control!
Saw that too
and so I finally got my windshield clean after a year
not any more effective then a heated windscreen
its patented by ford i believe but porsche and rangerover using it...
As I know it. You can't use a heated windshield, when you have head up display.
Ford did have a "Instant Clear" Windshield in the late 80s, at least the Mercury Grand Marquis had it as an option.
@@uygar2580 I don't think heated windshield is patented by Ford, I know many manufacturers that use it. My Opel even has one.
@@jasperordrup yes you can! But you cant use Tv Tuner in car...
Fake! The ice was a paid actor.
Hahahahaha loooool soo funy
Hahaha cool and funny :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
🤣🤣
Was watching eagerly to see the innovation, but ended up asking myself "that's it???" 🙁
Why cant we just put a heated windshield? 1000% more effective
its patented by ford i believe but porsche and rangerover using it...
Patented by Land Rover
Uygar KAYA I have heated windshield in my Ford Fiesta from 2003, lol.
Also slower
I’ve had a ford with heated windscreen. As good as it is to clear windscreen quick. It has all these little dots which when not cleaned blur your vision especially at nights it’s horrible.
That means you have to pay more for expensive blades now
useless idea,i drove a ford focus with heated windshield in germany and this system works great .
Yes, and there is Snow on corners yet
That's the only working solution.
I don't have heated windshield but I do have mist nozzles to spray washing fluid on the windshield. The winter fluid melts the ice in most cases almost instantly :)
Those tend to get frozen too, i.e. spraying nothing.
Luckily it haven't happened to me yet ;)
@@jaromor8808 in Germany in the Winter they sell anti freeze instead of normal washing water
You can get winter wiper fluid
And a thousand micro scratches.
Damn didnt
Ice doesn't scratch glass. It's not near hard enough.
Heated windscreen is much more useful IMHO
People talk about heater windshield being better. It’s probably is an option on this car. Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand after all and they invented it. However, I find this feature to be extremely useful when it rains during winter. The rain water would freeze on the wipers which makes them completely useless. This system ensures that you don’t have to stop to clean the wipers from ice.
Mercedes Benz has offered this feature for a number of years on its S Class and other vehicles
Marcus Richardson because they’re the best duhhh
Dont they have some aeroblade tech or whatever that spray the liquid so hard towards the window that it melts and breaks all the ice on the window?
Tu Ru - right, they have, it was presented a couple years ago in Mercedes’ cabriolet, it was made for the open-roofed cars and they decided to produce it for all models then
@@marselus88 yeah like i saw some 7 years old vid that introduced it. But reading comments, some have had it even before too.
Michael Robinson Vlogs Duh.
Tolly and James are the best! Spray that windshield!
So after 600 wipes the blades are warm AND heavily used/ damaged?
My fiesta 2007 has more effective system, heated windscreen, gets solid ice few mm thick in no time.
And I choose when to turn on the wiper blades so they don't get micro damage.
I wouldn't like to be negative but what have I missed in this preview? 🙁
How about the heated windshields? They have extra fine wires in comparison to rear windows. You can still see them but barely visible unless searching for them specifically. The pre-2014 Transit Connect had it, or at least it was an option.
3 ice morning, and you must buy other pair! Great product :-)
This technology is useful for highway wiping at high speeds, and the rubbers do last. This is a Bosch system already in use on Mercedes models since 2013
This feature will be usefull on the road during snowy winter rides below 0°/32F so the snow and ice wont stick to the wiper but it definitely works much worse than heated windshield in the example shown above
More junk to fix after the warranty runs out.
I see it being much more useful if it is a rain/ice mix while driving long distances but first thing on a frosted windshield, washer solvent works ten times faster and is a hell of a lot cheaper
I think it would be cooler if the wipers went very slowly, in a "ice I'm gonna make you burn" kind of way
I use a CD to rub the ice on the windshield. If I manage to make a hole to see with one eye, I'm gone!
Cool, same thing Mercedes did 10 years ago.
motion, friction, heat, uneven surface, crystalline structure, scratchy sounds ... wear & tear?
Heated windshield washer jets exist and seem much less comple and expensive, plus are more effective so... Why?
I had a new Lincoln in 2017. Only drove it on weekends because it was in the shop through the week. Something wrong with it all the time! I got rid of it before the warranty ran out. I’ll never have another!
I wonder how much new wiper blades are?
Whats next? You will show a 2000 european mk3 ford (is lincoln owned by ford? Hmm guess yes it is) mondeo with heated front windshield?
Or mayby 1990 webasto and remote ignition start?
“Mercedes” : Been there, done that ! 😎
superfilipppp
Mercedes Benz!!!!!
The best.
Its already making streak after doing that lol
Now I have something to add to snow plow tractor windshield wipers. Wrecking yards, here I come.
When you don’t wanna waste washer fluid
Great job
wow, it works exactly as non-heated wiper blades
Minnesota winter: Am I a joke to you?
Why not spray hot water from the windshield spray?
Bring this technology tô Brazil!
What can they make heated windshield
Try getting the blades to even move when their iced down and tge windshield is packed with snow. Theres no way around elbow grease.
Impressionant !!!
How much cost it to buy new when they broken?
I’ll just use my ice scraper and be done with it quickly - thank you
Some Guy Than you for the advice. Unfortunately newer cars don’t have easy access to raising the blades. They just hit the bonnet. You have to put them in servicing mode and then you can lift them from the windscreen.
Some Guy I have a golf mk7. To lift the wipers they have to be put in servicing position. I don’t know why they’ve made a design like this. Perhaps for aerodynamics as the wipers are tucked behind the bonnet.
Some Guy Congratulations on your new car! I hope you get many reliable miles! The golf that I currently own is my first car. I have a new Audi A6 on order due to deliver in may.
Some Guy Wow that’s a very new car. Take care of her! Happy to hear that you get to drive such a good truck. I hope you get many more km out of her. Drive safely! 🙂
@Some Guy warming up is a waste of gas... Only needs to "warm up" for about 30 seconds. Best way to get to operating temperature is by driving.
Try this in Alberta -40c the wiper blades wont even move
Looks slower and worse than heated windshield on my Opel.
How much for the wipers
$ 300 for a set of new blades would be about right? Stupid.
Very, and I think the warranty people thinking the same lmao
Do they realize if you spray good quality windshield wiper fluid and blow hot air in the defrost position you get way faster without this expensive system
I thought it would clear all the ice in one swipe. That would be satisfying and effective. This will wear out what I imagine are very expensive blades
why don’t they just heat the entire windshield? rather then just the blades which doesn’t seem to work that well or quickly
Not me with my 5% tints on my 2005 Lincoln ls v8 and a subwoofer in the back 😂
Maybe a good idea if it snowed year round.
I live in the southeast so that is useless to me. But we need that liquid nitrogen to spray out of our ac vents. It gets real hot and humid most of the year.
Soooo how long does it actually take to unthraw that windshield with wipers ... And was the defrost on to help ? Just asking ...
@Some Guy 🤣🤣🤣
My 2015 Ford Transit Custom van has a heated screen which appears to be way more effective. Its work horse and rolls around building sites 🤷🏼♂️
I have this cool shit on my car that’s called a window defroster, wanna know something even better my rear window has it too!!
Its very bad for the rubber. Dont use it!
I guess you don't live in the north
Barsa F if it’s that bad throw some hot water on it and get to steppin
Michael Robinson Vlogs do all oldercars have those
This isn’t a defroster! This is the blades of the wipers actually heating the window up and melting the ice. That’s why the ice only melts where the blades are, not where the vents are like a standard defroster. Different purpose.
Rain x windshield fluid do that way quicker and subaru has a heated windshield and all cars have heater and defroster.
You guys do realize that you use the wiper blades as well as the defroster to make it quicker, right? Some of these comments lead me to believe some of you don’t understand the point.
**laughs in remote start and remote hvac controls*
My 2010 VW Passat has heated nozzles for the washer fluid and that even works better than this for ice on the windshield.
Yep same thing on my 14 Volkswagen CC
onewsome304 I’ve never had a car with the feature before, and I really enjoy it.
@@crazyman-td9bq yeah I didn't even know. Was just reading through the owner's manual one day
1989 Ford Scorpio and Sierra had the heated windshield.
I don’t know why this gave me anxiety LOL
Ever tried wiper fluid
Literally 2 sprays with a deicer would have disolved that light ice in a second.
Can just do that by leaving the wipers on....🤣, i cant imagine how much they cost to replace..
Tesla be like...
:Our cars heat up to melt the snow!!
This is worth buying I didn't see them spray the fluid
You're right, because washer fluid is so much more expensive than heated wiper blades
Replace ur wipers more often! Has to be the Lincoln heated ones haha
how can u not use a respirator when spraying chemical ?! omg safety and health pls
the fluid takes care of that
I think people need to realize, this would be helpful only when the vehicle is moving.
That’s a small amount of ice, that’s a most likely special wiper blade that costs double, it will take forever, and be quite loud
Heated windshield is much more effective!!
So, r u going to give me extra battery for this !!
Our old Ford Fiesta has a heated windscreen, Ford's have solved this issue in a much more affective way years ago
Well my Ford EcoSport has a heated windshield
Probably won’t work in a foot of snow. Up north we have to leave the wipers up during a snow storm so there don’t freeze and break.
Ford owns Lincoln so why don't ford use it's quickclear heated windshield, other vehicles use it but Ford had the patent for it and was the first manufacturer to use and come with the idea, Ford started using it in the mid 80s. I have a 2018 fiesta and this is such an amazing feature.
And the cost to replace the wiper blades is ....
Lol how much for a replacement .
Imagine the scratches
Customer : I need a new set of Wiper Blades.
Lincoln:800$
Lol got a Cadillac ad
It's called windshield washer fluid.. it's about 1/1000th the cost... yet still move effective....
I invented microwave wipers. They emit a very low grade electromagnetic wavelength that all but instantly melts windscreen ice.
Don’t forget to change the rubber after every use 😅😅😅
alcohol based winshield washer liquid : am I a joke to you?
Обогрев лобового?
Не, не слышали
They are one shot blades right? Heat up, do the job then replace :D Heated windshield + inner directed hot air solves this in 10-15 mins at least in Europe for until -10 celsius. I know I know in US it is -30...
Me going out farting on the windshield is much more efficient than this.
It's evolving, just backwards
Mercedes had magic vision few years ago
Which kind of person get 100thousend dollars car end doesn't have a garage?
Uhm.... Is that the best you can come up with
Why not make a heated windshield
Totally Lincoln music.
Heated wiper blades. Cool. I like.
The wipers will likely get stuck plus it semiarid all the windscreen
