• Never spray water on any of the components under the hood or in the

charge port. Water ingress can damage electrical components and

connections.

• Use a dry cloth to remove any excess dirt that collects under the hood

or in the charge port. Always power-down the vehicle and wait five

minutes before touching any electrical components.

PLASTIC (NON-PAINTED) EXTERIOR PARTS

Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products are

available from your authorized dealer.

• For routine cleaning, use Motorcraft威 Detail Wash (ZC-3-A).

• If tar or grease spots are present, use Motorcraft威 Bug and Tar

Remover (ZC-42).

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

The windows and wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the wipers

do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle’s glass or the wiper

blades may be the cause. These may include hot wax treatments used by

commercial car washes, water repellent coatings, tree sap, or other

organic contamination; these contaminants may cause squeaking or

chatter noise from the blades, and streaking and smearing of the

windshield. To clean these items, follow these tips:

• The windows may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner such as

Motorcraft威 Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner.

• The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or

Motorcraft威 Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or

Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure to

replace wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function

properly.

• Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.

• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.

If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner

or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer

surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft

cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After

cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The

windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield

with water.

Do not use sharp objects, such as a razor blade, to clean the

inside of the rear window or to remove decals, as it may cause

damage to the rear window defroster’s heated grid lines.
